Out on the Golf course

[RyanD]

Another one of my sports based shoots. Got there late thanks to the sodding m25 which has highlighted a few things to consider for the future. The trees and shadows late in the day vs sky is a bit of a bugger, and I have enough grunt in my lights to be doing it earlier when the sun has more coverage..

Anyway.. Think this one may look a tad over saturated on other monitors?

went a bit different on the PP here.

Like these alot dude. Only crit would be the club on #2 looks odd.

Catch you soon, will fill you in with volume 2 of 'editors are pricks'.

 

[RyanD]

HAHA! Let us know we can go for a beer over your way. Ive got a cracking story to update you with too regarding me going awol at some one too. Sarcasm apparently is picked up on in emails

Club was at 100mph (Hes had his swing speed recorded at) So I think the mix of Ranger A heads + 580s may mean the flash duration caused motion blur. Although at the speed movement across the frame I think even my rangers may struggle to not have any blur.

Nice shots, the grass does look a little over saturated in #1 but the rest look good.

 

[RyanD]

ill tone that down a touch. Thought it may do, my monitor is very vibrant and a few people had been saying I was really undersaturating bits so trying to compensate.

 

[Kane.]

Different, really like them.

 

[RyanD]

Right dont really like the overprocessed look, but ive ran a preset I had form ages ago on LR. A couple of people seem to like it so throwing it out here for people..

 

[Feirny]

That one is much better mate, works really well. Was this a paid job or just fun?

 

[RyanD]

Just testing images for the portfolio tbh.

Ive got a MTX\DH rider planned and another running 1 and should have a collection of images for what I need/want. Just waiting on a new ringflash too for some other bits.

I'd definitely move the ball to be in line with the stroke / swing of the club.

And a 'pro' golfer wouldn't go off the red tee....

IMHO of course !

 

[RyanD]

LOL knew someone would comment on the tee colour, only one with some background and wasnt too fussed about it.

I really like that, is this your own preset?

Matt.

 

[RyanD]

Nah not mine, but ive had to tweek it a touch as most presets ive got seem to work best on quite heavily underexposed images for some reason...

Can't add too much to the comments already posted above. Nice pics of Duncan though, bet he took ages tarting himself up!lol!

Would appreciate if you could send it over, or point me in the right direction of where to download it.

Liking these, my main gripe would be the mega distortion - mainly in the first pic. His head just looks a bit massive to me.

I take it you used a wide angle lens?

 

[Revels]

Just boost the saturation a bit. Add a bit of contrast. Done! Lol.

I think the processed one is better. There's a line with it and you haven't crossed it. It's when people who think they have to max out every setting that it goes wrong.

 

[RyanD]

16-35.

Im not a fan of processed images (the type of HDR s**t people do etc..) clients would have to pay me alot more money to do such crap on my work lol!
