  2. 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).
  3. *Correction* Apparently at some point in time I changed it from www.Facebook.com/MRHSports to www.facebook.com/MRHPhoto .... Oops ^.^
  4. I forgot about this thread :P It's a month late but here's photos from the 3 practice rounds at the PGA at Whistling Straits up here in Wisco last month. Day 1: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.898829213522600.1073742073.522919604446898&type;=3 Day 2: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.898950866843768.1073742074.522919604446898&type;=3 Day 3: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.902279513177570.1073742077.522919604446898&type;=3 I started working for a newspaper 2 years ago now so I mostly do sports nowadays on my facebook page www.facebook.com/MRHSports I actually got prints done recently of these 3:
  5. I'd say if he was pushing for a different role they may have been having trouble trying to fit him somewhere. These guys don't tend to change roles or personalities often. It's almost always the same 2 or 3 main commentators, 2 guys in the towers watching live feeds from different cameras, and 2 or 3 on course commentators following specific groups. I'd hazard a guess that if this is the case, they couldn't "find a role" for him outside of on course commentator. Maybe they let him Live-tweet instead :P
  6. Small thing I might note. I was at the PGA all 7 days and the final 2 days I finally spotted Feherty (with the final groups of course). First thing I notice is he's in damn good shape actually for getting up in years, second thing I noticed was that while he's getting up in years, he was constantly having to RUN up the course as well as the CBS camera guys to get where the shots would roughly be landing.. I don't know if it's just the Straits setup that doesn't allow for cart travel, but I could honestly understand if he was pushing for a Booth/Tower job instead of on course commentator if he's constantly having to run around a golf course as he's getting older. Food for thought?.
  7. I follow the @NoLayingUp guys on twitter as well as a few other ones like @TwoInchesShort or @Wrong_Fairway just for the entertainment and you can interact with them pretty readily. While NoLayingUp started the #TourSauce thing and #PrayForTedScott, it's taken on a life of it's own lol. Some of it comes off as dudebro humour, but honestly a lot of it is a fun fresh take on the tour and some of the just downright stupid things tour players do and get away with. My favorite lately though is the #PrayForTedScott meter when Bubba's not doing well. https://twitter.com/CharlieKane_/status/638072153540304896
  8. Just got an email that Geneva National will be opening tomorrow. Kind of surprising to me though that the Lake Geneva courses are opening before even the local muni's considering they have hundreds of thousands of dollars more invested in upkeep but it's $39 for 18 holes (normally over $100 unless you find a deal) with a cart through April 17th. I've only played there twice in my life (Palmer and Trevino) but that's not a bad deal to play some pretty nice courses.
  9. Seeing that he is coming out on Oprah, to me it seems like he's probably going to try and twist it into a sob story about how he was...forced or coerced into it. Again not to take away from the whole cancer survivor thing, but according to rumors and former team mates he's been doing it even before the cancer. My dad brought up a point today though. It doesn't matter whether he admits to being guilty (since everyone knows it anyway), it's not coming clean until he comes forward and apologizes to all of the teammates (past and present), doctors, officials and sponsors that had their lives destroyed by his constant lies and threats. In his quest for secrecy he has badmouthed so many people that at one time supported him it's absurd.
  10. Nice! I wish my home course were a bit more photogenic, the only way I made mine more interesting was waiting until sunset or shooting using only Infrared light :P I've been dabbling in off camera flash/portraits lately so here are 2 experiments :P First is the daughter of a photographer I may become an assistant for soon, and second is just a horrible self portrait :P
  11. So far I feel that the 3 most important things to understand really are: -The Exposure Triangle of ISO, Aperture (FStop), and Shutterspeed, how they are related and their effects on each other. -Understanding the effect of Aperture, Lens Focal Length, and Distance to subject on Depth of Field. -Learning what your lens can and cannot do. IE Optimum Sharpness, Focal Length/Zoom amount, maximum and minimum aperture. (The secret 4th thing is learning how to combat G.A.S. or Gear Acquisition Syndrome and stop spending copious amounts of money on things you don't need :P) I've been putzing around for a little over 2 years now and all of that is just now starting to click and I find myself thinking more about correct exposure in Manual mode than spraying and praying in the Program modes. Here's one I did the other day for a friend and his dad.
  12. My old high school did fireworks after the homecoming game tonight. I managed to get home from work before they launched but really had no idea when it would happen. Settled down to watch DVR'd coverage of the Ryder Cup and they just start launching them like crazy. I only had enough time to get the tripod out, couldn't change the lens to anything wider due to street lights, and was fighting the damn autofocus because I couldn't turn it off quickly enough. Only got 3 shots off before they were over. Only one turned out: DA*60-250 F16 2.5sec ISO-500 A bird in the back yard And I couldn't quite get this to look remotely like what it SHOULD look like. The human eye I guess can see something like 18 EV values from darkest to lightest and a camera can really only capture 8.
  13. Thanks, you gave us a place to do it though lol, so thank YOU :P I haven't been doing much due to working a ton but a few for fun .
  14. Just posted a series of images from the vacation I just got back from in Door County, Wisconsin (first vaca in like 8 years) over at pentax forums, here are a few images but the rest will be up HERE .
  15. Haha yeah, he had JUST stopped playing dead and was opening his eyes and just glaring at me. Eventually it started getting lively and crawling around the cart, falling off of it, climbing into my camera bag..etc But yeah he doesn't look too happy atm.
