Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Nine (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II
Location: Milton Keynes UK
Date: Sep 14, 2009
Aperture: F20
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/400s
Galleries: Sports
Date Uploaded: Sep 15, 2009

 9 iron in a light tent with a ball and some grass thrown up in front of it just as I release the shutter.

Had to use 1/400s to freeze the action and crop out the banding top and bottom that resulted in the camera not being able to sync with the strobes at that speed.

Very basic edit

I don't think the windings help at all.

I thought there would be more golf images in this challenge, I like how this is a unique take on the golf shot, great lighting

Time for me to learn the difference between a nine iron and a six iron (is there such a thing?).

Although I assume this is a set-up shot, I really like it. I wish you had lit the ball a little more, as it is an integral part of the action. The black background really works for me. Nice job.

Fun shot. I like the feeling of movement in this static shot.

Great capture, the black background which has always been my favorite. You managed to capture the detail, your lighting really accentuates the nine.

I get that its a 9 iron, but at first glance, I see a 6. I like the deep black you capture in your background to make your subject pop, but the ball needs to be a bigger part of the frame and better lit. Good start, but it could definitely use more time in the setup and lighting. 5.

Why rotate the 9 to look like a 6?
