ISO,

These are nice shots and fairly interesting :thumb Especially the first one where you caught the ball in the frame :clap Tough lighting pretty much shadowed the faces in the 1st and 3rd shots :rolleyes The BG sky in the 2nd one is sweet. Again, we can't see a face, but the red/orange sky almost makes up for it :D

I like the second one, isogood. Lovely color and idea. Shame about the lens flare.

Sure wish I could their faces in the other two.

These are excellent photos. Just a couple of questions.

How are you able to get a camera onto a golf course hosting (I presume) a European Tour event unless you are an accredited photo journalist? I thought spectators are usually banned from carrying cameras at professional tournaments.

Unless you are a very long distance from the golfers being photographed, how is it permitted that you can take the shot before the clubhead has made contact with the ball? This is usually a strict no-no at any golf tournament as the players are distracted by the noise of the shutter.

It's common on the US Tour, cameras allowed during practice rounds. I think these are tele shots, far enough away that the shutter sound would not be heard - that's my guess, anyhow :D

I'm sure there must be an explanation because he got the photos and lived to tell the tale!

yer darn right! (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5279769/) (link to msnbc story)Way to go, Steve! Where would the world's best player be without his Kiwi caddie taking care of (on-course) business? And it was another Kiwi who won the tournament anyway!

Look at the flex in the shaft of the club in shot #3. That's incredible. I didn't know clubs did that. But it makes sense. It probably springs back into shape about the time it's contacting the ball and adds power to the shot.
