Alma Mater Ornament

My wife and I met in college, so this actually makes sense to put on the tree. I tired and tried, but this was the best picture I could get... stupid refelctions...

    Get some pieces of white tag board
    or if you prefer black velour
    and hang them in front of the ornament
    put the lens between the two
    and if you hang them close enough
    to each other, overlapping in the center
    you should get an even reflection
    in the ball with one dark(er) spot - the lens

    That is a good idea! Thanks!
    The main window in the room is the reflection here. I tried pulling the curtains, but that just gave it a larger, diffuse reflection. I tired with the flash and that was a nightmare. I don't shoot enough marco (my camera isn't that good) stuff to usually have to worry about it, but this one was a monster.
