    Must be a giant club needed to drive that one

    A clever use of differential focus

      And perspective!

        It all depends on how you look at it!

          Nice. The title's got me thinking of an early Acca Dacca song although it's not about golf.
          It's the image that's important, not the tools used to make it.

            A beautifully balanced composition there, Stephen.

            I like the uncluttered simplicity with not a birdie in sight.

                Thanks, Brian, John, David, Mark and Ed. I used a secret technique for this shot. It's called Finding A Large Ball. The "ball" is actually a 12" teeing-off marker!

                  So you weren't crawling around on the ground commando style to get the shot. I'm disappointed in you Stephen. A very pleasing image.

                    The drive was obviously worthwhile - nice shot!

                      Well, I still had to get down low (and get up again!). But I didn't go commando!

                        That's a relief or we could have had another, very different, shot to match the title.

                            I don't think so.

                              Stephen, your very nice photo brought to mind something I did a few years back. I always wanted to share it but had to wait for the right moment For some reason it fits your thread, so I dare to post it:


                              E-30, ZD14-54-II@54mm, F3.5, 1/1000s


                              E-30, ZD70-300@190mm, Panorama from several shots taken

                              These pics are form the Hermann (aka Arminius) monument. The Teutonic Slayer of three Roman Legions. I visited the place in 07-2011 and soon found, that everything depends on the point of view

                              Ah BTW, the "appendage" is a water drain - of course

                              Cheers,
                              Falk
