What would it look like if one were inside a spherical mirror silvered on the inside?

One possible answer: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbprzd/3043227134/ I've made another attempt, putting the camera closer to the sphere at the origin. Then comes another answer to Dan's question: if your head was in the center but your eye was not, you would see an inverted and deformed image of your head, and you would see all around even the back of your head (assuming that you are not an egg-head and that your head is spherical). If the head is not in the center, many strange images appear around the central reflection. Best, Seb
