The trusty D90 was used with the 12-24mm and 24-120mm lense to get both
wide angle and closer up images of the golf holes I selected to capture. I used
aperture priority mode from f9-f11 and ISO of 200-500. To light up the flag
stick, I used the SB-700 Speedlight as well set to manual mode to control the
power output. Exposure compensation on the camera was set to -0.3 too on the
RAW files.
I transferred the files onto my laptop and opened them up using ViewNX.
For sunset images, I changed the white balance to shade while daylight images
were set to direct sunlight. Nature landscape and golf course custom picture controls
were used to improve the color. For future post processing steps, I copied
certain images and adjusted the exposure compensation in five different steps
to create HDR images.
The final step of post processing was done using PSE 11 with a wide
range of tools in the program. The clone brush, straightening, crop, layer
masks and brush tools were all used. The clone brush is great for getting rid
of yardage and water hazard stakes that I don’t like in my photographs of the
golf course. To create the HDR images, I used Easy HDR Pro 2 by combining 5
different exposed Tiff files into one image. The program has default settings
for tonal curves and I decided on natural for these images.
It’s hard to believe another golfing season is over with but it started
late with a wet spring, a drought during the summer and ended early but in
between the golf course was in beautiful shape to capture great photographs.
