Hi..

Here is a shot from the weekend, since I sukk at golf just took pics., here is one I'd like to share.
C.&C. welcome.

Nice pic, lovely tones.

What shutter speed did you use here. Most have been so fast.
Or did you throw the ball in the air?

Got the color version?


Also, I wish the shot was taken slightly sooner, so the ball was below the horizon, because it blends in a little too easily with the sky (maybe not so with color). Perhaps a perspective from above would be good too to help move your horizon up. (any trees around to climb?)

I do like the action you've got here though, keep it up.

The speed was pretty high, I use aperture priority 2.8 and the full 8fps. of the D2H.
In this shots the ball was going around 200 yards.

Here is the color version

Color version is stronger I think, if you could get them to go to a traditional golf course (this a driving range right?) The settings would be more picturesque. I don't know what to think of the targets. If you're going to do this again, play with angles and shutter speeds, see what you think of a little bit of motion blur and if you can do anything about the blown out sky, probably the hardest part right there is the sky.
