The camera was set to Av mode where I control the aperture and the camera chooses my shutter speed. I set the aperture to f\/2.8 to get relative sharpness all around. I shot this directly overhead so as not to have any shallow depth of field. Also shooting at larger apertures got rid of the vignetting. f\/4 would have done a better job but at this time of the day, light was limited. The sun had dropped behind the trees before I attempted this shot. I dialed down the exposure compensation to -2\/3 because it was important to me to expose the white golf balls correctly. If I kept the exposure bias on zero, then the artificial turf would be quite brighter, over exposed even, while the golf balls would simply be unrecognizably blank and lacking any detail.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/picturejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/practice_sml.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1609\" title=\"practice_sml\" src=\"https:\/\/picturejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/practice_sml.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/picturejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/practice_sml.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/picturejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/practice_sml-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/picturejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/practice_sml-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canon 1Ds Mk II, Canon EF 50mm 1.4.
