Pic of a set of golfballs I found at the age of 16 at the Trelleborg Golfcourse (Sweden). I have had one training and they say I can hit the ball pretty well, but the putting is a nightmare.
I played around with positioning them, laying in the grass on my side at 30 degrees celcius in the baking sun. Macro mode tried at F2.8 to F11. Got 30 useable pics, I like this one the best. Focus was on the yellow Tommy Armour ball and the yellow gives an interesting flavour to the image.
Other subjects were marbles, braking discs (perforated motorcycle ones) and an exhaust.
