I am a fan of earthy tones
Brazilian Rosewood into yellow, green, blue and black veneers.

 
Here's my favorite so far, from Jerry Rauenzahn:

It's way too much cue for you><:smile:

I went back and looked, and all 24-pics I took made the cues look warped.
Pretty disappointing since I bought this camera just for cues

I've had that happen too, and there's an easy way to get around it.

What's happening is you're filling too much of the lens' area with the part of the image you want to be accurate. All lens' can distort the areas near the edge of the image like this. Some worse than others, but all can do it to some degree. What you can do to fix it is to zoom back out some so that the cues are more in the middle of the image you see before you take the picture. Once the image is captured, you can crop it to show whatever you want and take away the extra area just leaving the middle where the cues are. Back when I was taking a lot of pictures I ended up with a tripod set quite a bit further back than I originally thought it needed to be. I was using a fixed 50mm lens, so I couldn't zoom. Moving it back seemed backwards to me, but it proved to be the right thing as my pictures came out much better.

Try it!

This works very well, or you can fix it with PhotoShop or any number of (freeware) photo editing programs...most have lens distortion correction features, you can input the make/model/size lens and voila! everything is straightened out. It also corrects other common aberations/distortions, like dark edges/rings in wide shots of open spaces/sky/ocean. You've got a nice set up, there are tools/techniques that can help you get the shot the way you want. There are lots of shots of straight cues on this site that are distorted, making the cue looked warped. Not hard to fix.

There are lots of on line tips that can help you with this and other issues, like adjusting your aperture/speed to get more of the cue in focus, etc.
