Sphere (also called Sphere at the Venetian Resort) is a music and entertainment arena in Paradise, Nevada, United States, east of the Las Vegas Strip. Designed by Populous, the project was announced by the Madison Square Garden Company in 2018, known then as the MSG Sphere. The 18,600-seat auditorium is being marketed for its immersive video and audio capabilities, which include a 16K resolution wraparound interior LED screen, speakers with beamforming and wave field synthesis technologies, and 4D physical effects. The venue's exterior also features 580,000 sq ft (54,000 m2) of LED displays. Sphere measures 366 feet (112 m) high and 516 feet (157 m) wide. The arena cost $2.3 billion, making it the most expensive entertainment venue built in Las Vegas.

The subject is a massage slipper or acupressure slipper. These massaging spheres are in the insole region. The slipper is of hard plastic and is transparent.
There are 3 light sources , the room's ceiling light, a table study light at 10 o'clock and a small LED torchlight providing the backlighting.
Many thanks for your visit, comments and faves...it is always appreciated.

pas besoin d'être pro de la photo mais il faut être maitre de la lumière et savoir créer des choregraphie lumineuse
Tidying up and ended up making one of these. I think Umamen's one has a tighter radius, but this one used only clear parts. Haven't seen this before, but tell me if I'm wrong. 1x1 flat, round clear tiles used to connect.
No belville this time , just wanted to share the technique.
The air was cold and moist, the fog was rolling in, the trees were quiet as the winds decided to leave this area in peace. The ground crackled as the icy dew melt and the birds started synchronising to it.
It was when the horses started to move that the sun peaked from the distant horizon and brought life to the scene...
The sphere of life...an image from Richmond, NSW
A brush of brighter light strikes to each side of a sharper ridge and highlights the delicate curving lines and textures of Rattlesnake Slot Canyon, near Page, Arizona.
I really enjoy taking detail and texture shots when I'm out with the camera, though I don't often end up posting those images for some reason. In these wonderful red sandstone slot canyons of the American southwest, interesting details and plays of light are everywhere among the sinuous striations exposed in the narrow canyon walls. Sky Matthews and I were lucky the morning I took this shot to be one of only a half dozen or so people in the whole of Rattlesnake Canyon, so we had plenty of time to really look around and focus on whatever features caught our interest--a rare experience for me compared to my visits to some of the other, much more well-known, and crowded, slot canyons near Page.
Rattlesnake Canyon gets quite narrow in places, much more so than in the public sections of the nearby Antelope Slot Canyons, and it also has all these cool little dimples and bumps in the walls in many places (a few small bumps are visible in this image). I'm not completely sure, but I believe those bumps are concretions of iron oxide that, once the sandstone around them fully erodes away and the little part-iron spheres fall free, are known as "Moqui marbles", which you often see scattered anomalously on the desert slickrock throughout the southwest.
Thanks for viewing!
Esperimento con una sfera di acciaio comprata da Amazon. Anche se potenzialmente belle, sono difficili da utilizzare per via dei riflessi. Ho dovuto infilarla in una specie di tubo a scacchi, per evitare i riflessi..

I am always being fascinated by reflections and distortions. I am especially fascinated by the effects of light trough transparent spheres and water droplets.
Perfect spheres are not easily (ever?) found in nature, and when you put one in nature it makes the scene appear extraterrestrial and surreal.
This image is a view of Mt Si reflected in Lake Borst, Snoqualmie, WA with some not so subtle editing.
No 3D rendering was used to generate this image. It all comes from two of my HDR pictures of Mt Si (one for the background and one for the spheres) and "a bit" of photoshopping (I use Paint Shop Pro).
I've had a loooooong day. I've not long got home (about 9pm) - it's been draining physically and emotionally so I'm just posting this one picture before I crash into my bed. I will comment tomorrow on all your wonderful photos.
The Sphere is a large metallic sculpture by German sculptor Fritz Koenig, currently displayed in Battery Park, that once stood in the middle of Austin Tobin Plaza, the area between the World Trade Center towers in Manhattan. After being recovered from the rubble of the Twin Towers after the September 11, 2001 attacks, its fate was initially uncertain and it was dismantled into its components. Although it remained structurally intact, it had been visibly damaged by debris from the airliners that were crashed into the buildings and the collapsing skyscrapers themselves.
Six months after the attacks, following a documentary film about the sculpture, it was relocated to Battery Park on a temporary basis—without any repairs—and formally rededicated with an eternal flame as a memorial to the victims of 9/11.
