Project 365 - Day 336 - Big Christmas Balls

There is a Christmas tree in Town Square in Oakville at Lakeshore and George streets.  It's a pretty big tree, and I wanted to take a picture of it today.  I didn't want just any picture, I wanted a different take on the traditional christmas tree pic.  So this is what I came up with.

There are these giant gold and red balls on the tree.  Most of the balls had either no reflection or underwhelming reflections.  This was one of the balls with a good reflection - but the problem was that I was in the shot when I would shoot it.  Solution?  Shoot on an angle and use your tripod.

1 sec exposure - another reason for the tripod.
