ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/50
Galleries: Macro, Photojournalism
Date Uploaded: Jul 15, 2003

 I used this one to experiment and practice my Macro skills. This is my first Macro take. Because of my Macro practice I took about 170 picturs over 3 days on diffrent holes in all kind of weather with all kind of light from the sun and sky. It was hard to choose the right one but I think this is one of the 3 best shoot I took so why not use it.

I choose this subject because it was simple with two round object and a pretty obvious fot my macro test.

There are no croping made, just rezise, unsharp a litle bit and run auto-curves on this shot.

Upper edge of the ball looks a tad over-sharp for my taste; nice color and detail.

I wonder if taking this same shot, but looking down at it from the putter shaft may have been better. sought of a putter's eye view

Actually a very good shot - nice lighting and colour on the ball. No awards for originality but it looks pretty! [6]

Nice. I like this. Very sharp. The texture of the grass is great. One thing I might have tried is knocking down the blue and/or magenta channel to get rid of the chromatic aberration around the ball. The shot is taken facing the light source, which works here for the grass, but the ball comes out a bit hot.

the best golf ball - judging the grass, you must be listed in the finest golf club of the nation
