PESO: Out of the Trap
The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) is here in town this week. Practice round today, Pro-Am tomorrow, actual competition Wednesday-Saturday. It has been a couple of years, but I was a golfer for 50+ years, have walked along with several professional tournaments. Other than Media, photographers/cameras are not allowed on the course during competition, but today’s practice round was a different story. I went early, Meg and I wandered the course (the local Country Club which we had only ever seen from a distance) and I used my years of accumulated experience with the game to try to capture a few “golfing” shots. It was fun to see some top golfers, to see some key international players, but mostly I wasn’t trying to do fan shots of important people, but rather trying for shots showing dynamic parts of the game. I did a quick download and review. I am very pleased with the linked image, what I think was my best of the day. Cropped, but otherwise no post processing.

RE: Paul's NYTimes piece
Odd - years ago in Australia everyone had a big, American-style gas-guzzler: even my mother had a Chrysler Charger as her daily drive. Now, the most popular cars are Toyota Corollas and Camrys, and the Camry is classed as a big car. I drive a Honda City - cheap, at under $20k, but comfortable, well-equipped, and cheap to run at 5-7litres per 100k consumption. I seldom drive more than 100k in a day, so it's much more practical than a bigger, more expensive car.
