Working with 150 "golfers" today

[ManinBlack]

No golf today, off to Slaley Hall for the annual Steve Cram Charity Golf Day. 37 teams in a shotgun start on two courses. Four of us photograph the teams & take action shots and have one printed for each competitor before they come off the course.

It's a great day with a number of celebs there - not as many this year with so many over in France for the Euros. The weather is always great, as it's going to be today, I don't know how they do it. Here is what we produce. Not many photographers can turn a job around as fast as we do. We've got it off to a fine art.

I love sports photography and stuff like this is great.

Who cropped the image on the right though!??

You couldn't get two more basic photos.

Golf photography is an absolute piece of cake these days with modern equipment, I've taken some stunning shots in the last 15 or so years, simply by pointing and pressing a button.

And I've never cropped someone's toes out either

I chucked this together quickly before I went out. Bad example.

I've taken stunning shots too, but this is what the customer wants, and more importantly, pays for. I'll post a properly composed example once we've printed the 148 copies.

Absolutely scorching up here, most unusual.it can be winter up here when it's summer at sea level.

You cant blame folks for the comments when you know yourself you threw up a substandard example, its always gonna be an advert after all

Hope you have a great day

Bit unnecessary folks. Should we not be supporting a forumer not making cheap jibes?

Surely you know how the forum works by now....

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Sorry, you are right. How stupid of me.

Do you mind emailing me howard@vpar.com

Incredible isn't it, people in glass houses.........etc, even better when it's double standards. I'll give you the full story next time we meet up.
