About the Image(s)

This image was taken on 26th March, 2021 using my Mobile phone, Samsung S9. ISO-400, f/2.4, shutter speed 1/50 sec, center weighted average. I just moved the mobile 2 inches for the cha-cha method. The image was processed in SPM for autoalign, then the image was trimmed. Minor corrections for exposure, saturation, shadows and denoice were done later in photoshop.

Mohanan, I like this shot; I shoot a lot of pool myself. Do you play? A little critique; I would like to see all of the balls as in the original. There is some color shift between the original and the stereo picture; The one-ball is yellow and the five-ball is orange in the original, and they don't look the same in the stereo picture; I know that I am being picky !! The green cloth makes a very nice background.   Posted: 04/09/2021 12:21:58

There is some change in the color after processing. I am not finding much difference in my desktop computer, but in mobile phone view, there appears to be more difference. Tried to re-adjust the color. Yes I do play, learned two years back.   Posted: 04/10/2021 15:32:23

I only play pool on my I-pad. Great image to make me want to actually play real pool. Looks like some of those balls are rather old with the numbers hard to see.   Posted: 04/12/2021 20:12:25

Yes, it is the old balls which we use to practice.   Posted: 04/13/2021 00:47:51

I like the subject but find it left me a little uncomfortable with the way the balls on left and right cut off at the edges. The reflections of light source/s might easily be cloned out, but I assume that's a choice you made to leave them in.   Posted: 04/13/2021 12:46:46

I like this view also. An example of everyday objects making great views.   Posted: 04/24/2021 09:09:30

Excellent! The reflected light in the shiny surface of the balls give it an added layer of depth. That makes up for the ambiguity of the background, which in turn makes up for the limited depth of field. Well done!   Posted: 04/25/2021 19:07:26

I was puzzled at the title as billiards is played with 3 balls only in the UK. Back to the image it is excellent although I do find the slight lope from left to right to be disturbing
