Carin blasts the ball out of the bunker

This is a first in a series of pics I will be posting.  I had a chance to witness world’s greatest lady golfers compete for Honda LPGA Thailand 2009 trophy. It was a warm, tiring day but worth it.  This picture of Carin Koch is taken at the 9th hole. Her second shot on this par 4 ended up in the bunker, but this fantastic shot landed less than 5 feet from the flag for a chance for par.

Exposure Time:  1/640s

ISO Speed: 1600

Focal Length: 130 mm

Aperture: F/11

    you have grabbed the perfect moment, bro… i guess you forgot to change the ISO speed like me… now, i got a habit of reminding myself before shooting “ISO, ISO and ISO”. Lolz…

    Beautiful action shot. The sunset shots in your archives are beautiful as well.

    Nice shots (Photo and Golf). Where are your Paula’s shots? I believe 50% of the photos you took on that day must be Paula. :)

    Ye Lwin Oo – Thanks. I didn’t forget. It was very sunny, I was tired. I cranked up the ISO to battle my unstable hands as well as to capture the action quick enough. I guess 800 would have been enough.

    Thomas – Thanks for the visit and your comments.

    Ko Zaw Phyoe – Thanks, bro! Actually, cameras were not allowed unless you have media credentials (which I dont)… I do have a lot of Paula photos, and I will post them every now and then.. and I wouldn’t say it’s as much as 50%; more than others though.. ;) … got quite a bit of Natalie, too. :D
