On the window sill in our old house we had this glass sphere with "bubbles" inside. I have tried to photograph the sphere before, but never thought it would look (that) good in a contrasty black and white image. Even more pleased with the result because this is simply taken with my Motorolo Moto G7plus smartphone (which is not known for its photo-taking-capabilities :)

Colorful decorations in one of the interior spaces in Hadeland Glassverk, an old glassblowing factory in Norway, from my visit there in November last year.

I was there during blue hour, and like how cold colors in the background contrast with brighter and warmer balls.

2023 07 27 03.28.25.29 NIKKOR Z 100 400mm f4.5 5.6 VR S Z9 160mm

While we were zipping around the bay, I noticed the texture of a broken pane of tempered glass in the back of the boat and started taking pictures. The boat turned, and then the sunrise became visible in the pane. Rather than including the sun directly, I decided the reflection of the sun on the water through the broken glass provided more interest.

 

The thicker lines running from the bottom left show what are likely the stress lines from the corner where warping caused the window to shatter.

 

Z9, 100-400mm @ 160mm, 1/1000s, f/8, ISO 220.
