[QUOTE="hark, post: 689617, member: 13196"] If your subject is located beneath trees, the camera might focus on the leaf reflections instead of your subject. I had that happen with one particular bench that was sitting beneath 2 trees. I could see the bench in the ball with my naked eye, but the camera almost always focused on the leaves overhead that were reflecting on the glass. You couldn't even see the bench in the pics--unfortunately I already deleted those files. If you are going to hold the ball with your hand, you need to keep watch where your fingers are located. I've had a few where a finger blatantly showed through the ball. This first one is an example but is nowhere near as blatant as a few of the files I already deleted. And also be aware of your shadow. I had trouble getting a good image without my shadow from the left front of the bench. I blurred the names on the plaques for their loved ones privacy. [B]The first image is hazier than the second.
