January 9 - Perfect shot!

About the photo:

The title for this post doesn't reflect the actual quality of the photo... it's not my favorite or perfect by any means!

I'm house-sitting at my aunt and uncle's house this weekend. My uncle is a big pool player, so I thought it would be fun to take some shots of the table and balls in the cool natural light. Yep, that's about it!

Assessment:

• Over-exposure: The original photos taken on the automatic setting were a little boring, so I switched it to manual and adjusted the shutter speed to about 3/4 of a second -- meaning the shutter would stay open for that long. I like that the white edges of the balls almost fade away into the bright natural light on the table.
• Depth of field: There's not too much depth of field in respect to the aperture of the photo, but I do like the depth you get from the cue ball being in the background.
• Shadow: I probably could have done more with the shadows in this shot, but I do like the shadow cast by the cue ball in the top of the photo.
• Other than that, there's not much going on here...
