The White Flag


I was driving back home after supper, and as I came by the golf course, I caught a glimpse of the haze in the air, because the distant trees were much lighter than those closer to the road. I really like atmospheric effects like this. I can't get a clear shot of the golf course because of the fence with all this brush growing on it. So I had to take the camera and hold it over my head at arm's length so it can see over the fence. The trick is, I have to do that, take a picture, then look and see what I got, then try again. It takes a while to get a sense of how to point the camera to get the composition I want. I think I shot about 40 images before I got it right. I was aware that the "flag" for the hole was in the foreground, so I moved until I could see it through the hole in the brush.

  1. Very cool!!! Kind of like the sun's reflection on the water through the forstay and the mast in the picture titled "Ice Cream Cones".
