    You know its reflective surface? Well, uh…

    I hate to be the one non-scientist that picks this up, guys…

    …What worries me is that it’s reflecting everything but us.

      Could be a tilt shift lens which can distort perspective and make a photo look as if it’s being taken from a slightly different angle. Not sure what to look for to disprove that hypothesis though.

      i noticed that in the OP too and it confused me a bit. then i noticed the dark corner bottom left, which is probably a bit of the wall of the dark room the picture was taken out of. that’s why the photographer isn’t in the reflection.

        Just look at the center of the sphere. You see distant scaffolding and walkways. The camera could be a small one set up there.
