I love my mom. She is always visiting thrift stores and picking me up "treasures" that she thinks I may be able to use in my photo shoots. She picked this old-school globe up for me a few months ago and, I'm embarrassed to say, its been sitting in my DI pile. I just wasn't sure what to do with this beauty. I'm so glad I still had it, it was perfect for this challenge.
50 mm, f/3.2, 1/320 sec, ISO 200
I took this picture in front of a window using natural light and spot metering. In elements I sharpened and cropped.
As always, CC welcome

Very Beautiful, I love globes, they are just so fascinating and the stand that is sitting in looks very rich in color, I also like the way you didn't get the whole globe in the picture. Eye catching.
this is a nice shot! I dont know of any schools that use globes like this anymore. Maybe it was an elementary school thing. You captured this globe quite nicely.
don't throw this out!!!!!!!! It's beautiful, I love the old school feel of this globe. The light makes this such a soft and serene picture, very pretty! and I love that you got the one hemisphere and left the rest to our imaginations-- well done!
I like how you cropped this photo and I love the light on it.
I agree with you on all points. I wouldn't know what the heck to do with it, but I love it for this photo. I love your angle and cropping.
My family had one when I was little and they do take up some room, but very cool none the less...great pic
I have totally been searching for one of these! : ) They are awesome!
I absolutely love the light and coloring in this. The only cc I can see is that I wish I could see the right side of the globe (the curved wood around it) more. Like, even cropping just after the edge so the rim followed through...
But it is SUCH a great picture! Did you use a backdrop?? What a great use of natural light!
Nope, no backdrop. The wide aperature and selective lighting gave it that look. I was quite tickled. As for the angle idea, I totally know what your saying, I might have to play around with it a bit more for fun. Thanks for the CC!
Pretty globe! I love the light and the crop. Nice job, Brittney!!
woo hoo Brittney! No backdrop and you got that kind of shot! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Feels very Victorian. I love the lighting and the way you've cropped it. I'd expect this to be in some old explorer type's study or library.
