Charity Golf Part 1

Decided to help leon as a photographer for a charity golf event last thursday at laguna national golf & country club so that i can get myself exposed to bigger events as a photographer. it was totally worth the day and the sun burn after that.

There were 4 photographers in all, leon adele ronald and me, and you can see from their equipment that mine is really nothing. xiao wu jian da wu. only that day i knew that there's such a thing called l lenses, l for luxury!! and you can identify the canon ones by the red ring on the front.. btw, l also stands for less-affordable.
Here are some photos of the day shots... i wanted to choose like my favourite shot to post here, but it's too difficult, cos i dunno how to choose, the photos are all very nice. l lenses are really different. yes i got to use l lenses, thanks to ronald.

I think you would have knows by now that i like this kind of shot, a very focused and sharp subject with a blurred background. love the green in all the photos from the day shots.

Golfers walking to their assigned buggy, it would be nice if they could assign one to me, so that i could drive round the course to take photos. no luck for that, so i endeed up walking instead.

Adele was telling me that it would be nice if we can catch a photo of a golfer getting the ball out of the bunker(i just learned this word), so i kept waiting for the right chance, finally got this one, sadly i couldn't get one from an angle where you can see the face, the sand and the ball.

Man in red: "yes, that was a good one"
Man in purple: (silently to himself) "why is he so happy? the ball didn't get into the hole... duh!"

Q: why are golf clubs so expensive?
A: because they have to be strong enough to support a man's weight.

This guy here is the winner of the tournament, and he's only 19 years old!! can you believe it? how many of us had actually stepped onto a golf course at that age. different people, different life.

Too many photos to include in a single posting, will post photos from the dinner at night at a later date, meanwhile just enjoy these. have posted quite some photos today!! before they all pile up.

the shot from the sandpit.. not bad not bad...

nt br: because his ball is very near the hole, he hit soft soft then the ball move slowly towards the hole, and it looks like it;s going in, so he gave that expression, only the know that the ball rolled past the hole

jt: the sand pit one very lucky, cos not many people hit into the bunker, i just happen to be standing there.
