Sweet Spot

Posted by MontereyJohn (Salinas, California, United States) on 5 November 2007 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.

This is a reworking of the preceeding post. I'm posting it mostly to demonstate some technical aspects of post-processing. It also is an interesting picture in its own right.

I liked the image of the driver as it was about to strike the ball. There was something dramatic about it to me. I also noticed this guy was deadly accurate thus the name for this picture.

I did a bit a cropping and fiddling with exposure, color, contrast etc. Despite my best efforts, the ball was blown out. That is the only thing that kept this from being a really good shot for me.
