@DarkPrince - These are fantastic!

Question about the last one (golfer on follow-through) - is that an HDR image?  It has that "look" to it, but it's an action shot...so I don't think it could be.

I'm going to bring my equipment to the TST Ohio outing this weekend - I hope to try my hand at some golf course shots.  We are playing Friday evening, so I might have some good dusk light to play with.

It was just a regular shot with a Fujifilm X100 mirrorless camera with basic Adobe Lightroom adjustments and a virtual Graduated Neutral Density filter to darken the sky but keep the foreground lit. Here's the raw photo straight out of camera:



A few more from the same camera after editing a bit:



There's something about the color rendition with this camera and it's Lens/Sensor combination that gives me so much more to work with and make POP than my full DSLR (I shoot with two Pentax K-5/K-5II cameras for most of my work).

Yeah - I've heard fantastic things about "Fuji color" - never owned one myself.  I almost purchased an X-100 when it first came out, but I think the fixed focal length would be too restrictive for me.  I do a lot of super-wide shooting...

Great stuff.

We're not going to have much time while playing the one-club scramble to take a lot of photos. They'd have to be the awfully quick-n-dirty type.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold anything up; I always plan on "quick and dirty".

Although if I recall correctly, the rules for the scramble are that you get three balls and after that you're out...so I will be able to take my time to get some nice photos after my first three swings. ;-)

We only had that rule at Whispering Woods. :) Did you get any photos?

Nope...nothing.  You were right - we were flying through those 9 holes.  I thought about taking a couple shots after we finished, but I got distracted by the $12 bucket of craft beers.

Took this one tonight.  I think it's my favorite so far.  I'd love to say I know what I'm doing but it was all luck.  The only adjustments were a graduated filter and some noise reduction in Lightroom.

First time I've seen this forum, so I thought I'd add a photo or two for grins. 

The first one is "Two Lane Blacktop", shot north of Cody Wyoming last summer.  It's a 6 image stitched panorama.:

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.  Photo taken from helicopter at the end of the dry season when the falls was at its lowest flow.  This only shows about 2/3 of its total width.

This one was taken more than 30 years ago (transparency scanned into digital) when I still had my 1980 Toyota 4x4.  It's somewhere high up in the Colorado Rockies.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
