Golf Hole
Taking the ordinary and seeing it in a fresh way is what good photography is all about. Sometimes we have to get in close and sometimes we need to step back and just capture the light. But always the photographer has to keep experimenting until they find what makes them say this is the image I was after.
This photographer has taken a hole in the ground, gotten down to an abnormal angel, and shown it to us from a new perspective. Taken in the late afternoon the light adds drama and texture. The out of focus background tells us part of the story to be told. I have never paid that much attention to the grass around a putting green but this stuff looks to perfect to be real.
The one thing this image lacks is drama. There is nothing going on. I know it would be a cliche but where’s the ball? A golf ball on the edge or near the hole would tell more of a story and add a little theater to the scene. A trick the photographer may want to consider is to have some sort of white reflector board with them and bounce some light back onto the flag pole to give it more shape and dimension.
