    A Passionate Golfer

    A passionate golfer would even play the Mount Everest if there is a flagstick put on the top of its.

    I woke up very early in the morning and on board a bus to Seven Sisters Park. After a more than 1 hour bus ride, I stopped in front of the park and without knowing where the beach was, simply followed general direction east and walked. After ½ hour of breeze walking, I found the beach and on time to catch sunrise. I spend about two hours there under sub-zero degree C temperature. On my way back, I stopped by a beautiful golf course at Rottingdean and continue my photograph shooting.

    As it was winter, the golf course was closed but I met an old man played golf alone. I chatted with him and I used his clubs and played a hole with him. Thereafter, He continued his golf game and I continued my photo shooting.

    Are you a passionate photographer?

    I like the fact that you've got the ball in #2 and, as well as seeing it in motion, your shutter speed is low enough for us to see movement in the club head on the follow-through. That's good.

    The first scene reminds me of a miniature golf course with a moving windmill that interferes with the ball if you time the ball incorrectly.

    This scene has a wider dynamic range than your camera sensor was able to record. You would have done better to check your histogram and blinkies to avoid blowing the sky.

    Leslie,

    Just in case you don't already check your histogram and possibly your blinkies after capturing every landscape, doing so is an absolute must for someone of your caliber. Doing so will also prevent a world of post-processing headaches for you.
