The Perfect Lie

Anyone know how many dimples are on the average ball? Well...too many to count....but, the legal ones have between 250 - 450. I think I got about 100 of them here. As you can see, this is clearly an unused ball. Mine usually have scuffs or tree bark smeared all over. I think natural light would have been optimal here....as you can see some glare.

ISO 400
Aperture: F13
Focal Length: 200 mm
Shutter: 1/2
Metering: Spot

  1. Excellent, Chethan. Well conceived. I like the background too - All focus is on the lie-ing ball.

    I notice shake in the picture. Did u mount the camera on a tripod? If not, u might want to do that. This will make the picture crisp, and the dimples will be clearly amplified.

  2. Chota chetan, I like the reflection of the ball..see if you can enhance it and bring it out..
    Were you wearing glasses when you focussed ;-)

  4. Yup, its shaken up a little bit. Could have used a tripod or a stable surface

  5. Good shot and a lovely idea.. i like the frame and the background.. reducing the brightness a bit will make the subject look even better..

    I feel you have pushed the limits of D40 with ISO 400.. you can see noise (grainy stuff in the bottom part of the ball) in parts of the image.. you might want to use some noise remover tool to repair some of that.. with the shutter speed you had set, a tripod becomes an absolute necessity or at least some way to steady the camera from shakes.. the edges of the ball tell me that there was some shake..

    i think this was a good idea executed pretty well..
