Hi All

I just thought it might be of interest for me to share some of my photos from my trip at the Open. So here they are! [image]

Very nice fella, what camera and lens were you using for the majority of them?

 

[stef92]

I have only two lenses.

I have a Canon 350d and I used the standard Canon 18-55mm lens for the wide angle ones, but mostly I use a Sigma 70-300mm lens.

 

[brendy]

pretty decent images matey, what model is the Sigma, I had a tamron 70-200 but just couldnt get a decent picture out of it. I have a 1000d and standard 18-55 too.

 

[stef92]

I think it is the APO DG 70-300mm 1:4-5.6, with a macro between 200-300mm

 

[Dodger]

How did you manage to use the camera on match day??!!

Bet you had your mobile smuggled in too! Tut tut.

 

[stef92]

No, I didn't get one in. I took these on Practice days!!!!

The one of me isn't taken by me obviously…!

I could have smuggled one in, as I wasn't searched seeing as I was a R&A employee as it were and went through a different entrance to everyone else, but if I were caught I wouldn't have got paid, so not worth it!

Plus, with 45 cameras on you, not really worth the risk, especially when one of my groups was Monty!!!

 

[Dodger]

So the last one isn't taken by you either then..

 

[stef92]

yeah, but I took the rest!

Some really great pics there. Love the close up of Jimenez with cigar. Thanks for posting.

 

[robbest3offthetee]

Love the b&w one of the swilken bridge,also the one of arnie looking like he is trying to get in,make a good caption competition.......,all great images though..

Some of those action shots are brilliant. How long does Miguel look at the ball (or where it was) for? Amazing.

I rather like the GMac one....don't know why, just the effort/concentration I guess.

absolutely wonderful - I dream of attending an Open Championship one day in my life; these images took me there for a moment. Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
