Golf trips are always a blast. It gives people the opportunity to go out and have some fun, while at the same taking out all of their anger out by swinging a steel carbon-fiber rod at a tiny little ball. When I was at the golf course with some of my friends some cool photos arose from being there early in the morning. Therefore, I decide to snap some and see how they turned out. Not my best but not my worse either. The first six pictures are taken around the golf course. The last two were taken other places. A few of my photos this week are the type of black and white photos I like to make when the picture is a little over exposed or the sun is shining straight into the lens. The two photos I am talking about are #3 photo and the last photo #8. Look below each photo for further description of how I took the picture, why I like, and what I did in editing it. Thanks for stopping by this week. Later

| This is a picture of a golf hole and I really like how the water tower stretches up above the hole. This was taken early in the morning so there was a bunch of fog around the water tower and I like how it makes the upper half of the picture kind of a foggy looking. Editing wise, I bumped the contrast up all the way and darkened the corners some. Kept it pretty simple on the editing once again. |

| I like this photo a lot cause when I first look at it my eye goes straight to the 50 yard line and once it is there, it moves up and I follow the posts all the way to the end of the photo. The poles act as leading lines in this photo. The green grass shows how luscious and healthy this photo is. For editing, I put the contrast up a little as well as the clarity. I then cropped it quite a bit and made the photo a little warmer also. |

| This is the picture that I am talking about where it is over exposed and there is some really white fog in the background so when I desaturate it it gives it a cool old school film look. I also like how the bottom of his feet are out of focus. His expression while holding the golf club really adds to the photo also. In editing, I desaturated the photo and turned down the exposure a little also and thats about it. |
 |
| This is a very interesting photo. When I first look at it, a flower image doesn't come to my mind. I don't really know what comes to my mind. The word helpless comes to my mind when I see this photo. Even though there isn't much to this photo I still think it turned out cool. |
 |
| Ok so I am going to speak for this photo and the one below it since they are pretty similar. I really like how the depth of field turned out on these photos. All the main flowers straight in front of the camera are in focus except for maybe one or two petals. Almost everything is in focus except for the complete background behind the flowers.. which thus put more of a focus on the flowers straight in the front. In editing this, I warmed up the flowers a little bit, I used the vignetting tool to darken the corners to put more of a focus on the flowers, and then I turned the contrast up quite a bit, and then bumped up the clarity a hair. |
 |
| As you can already figure out from the photo, I wanted this picture to be a little more dull in its colors so I turned down the vibrance once I opened it in photoshop. My goal in doing that was to make the color of the hose as dull as the colors of nature around it. How that bubble of water forms around the individual grasses also adds to the photo in the sense that whenever their is a hose.. water isn't far behind. I then cranked up contrast and a little bit of clarity to make the sharpness of the grass pop out. |

This is the photo I was talking about up above. I often like turning photos into black and white if there is a sun glare or if a picture is over exposed. It just gives you a foggy, dull look that you don't see very often.. and I am pretty into trying to get photos to turn out like this one. When photos come about like this one, all I do in editing is desaturate it because when I want a photo to turn out like this one I want to keep the editing as simple as possible.
