Golf... Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

What can you do in Scotland? Of course, play golf.

And which is one of the oldest golf areas in the world? Sant Andrews of course.

Obviously, take picture of golf players there is easy. Really easy because they're playing everywhere so, If you love golf, now you know where to go.

I hope you like it!
PS: I'm not really active in the last days....too much work. In fact, "work", something unusual for me hahahahahaha

Hi Oscar,

As you are mentionning in your note, it is very easy to shoot golfers in St.Andrews, as the golf course is close to the main road leading to the town. So therefore, you should have wait for a more significant move from a golfer, something more dynamic and engaging.

This guy seems to fool around and his goofy posture doesn't make an interesting photo. I wish you would have opted to shoot a full swing, maybe with a slow shutter to catch some motion or anything else that would propose action and would be more representative of this sport.

Maybe that's why you choose to title your image Golf, because the image doesn't say so...

I'm being honest Oscar, as it is a way to show you my respect and also because I know you can do much better than this. You are yourself an athlete, and I'm sure you would prefer to see yourself photographed in action, rather than while you are tying your shoes or making the ball spin on your index...

Go get it Tiger...

Cheers!

André

Hola Oscar.
Me gusta mucho el golf y hacen unos años estuve en ese mismo campo de golf, el ST. Andrews, el mas antiguo del mundo y uno de los mas famosos. Se ve que tomaste la foto mientras el golfista practicaba el putt en el green de practica. La expresión del joven golfista es de mucha concentración mirando donde va a patear la bola. Excelente foto mi gran amigo.
Un fuerte abrazo. No te pases mucho tiempo sin volver que por fin creo que ya te alcance.

Hola Oscar
I like the composition here, everything is well balanced, well done with the right aperture that let us guess the surrounding environment...could be an advertising for golf wear.
Have a nice day,
Rikk

PS. FC Barcelona players are staying in the hotel just in front of the office where I work...I took some pics with my mobile 10 mins ago as they arrived here...ehe... maybe tomorrow I could try to upload something...see you and...Forza Barça! r

Hi Oscar
Well done for the player in a strategic vertical line.
He is looking to somebody on the right, perhaps his girl friend ?
You should also tried to catch him in action.
Best regards
