I'm already on your list Aidan and really enjoy the pictures.
The architecture is another story.

Why did you place the natives so prominently in this picture?
I don't like the design of the green or bunkers - both are boring.

Tell us about the food, wine and women please.

Cheers

Thank you Tiger.

Mike.    Over all balance, colour, interest. Keep in mind the client was the Resort. My job was to create attractive images whose job is to stop the viewer long enough to read the copy and create some interest. If the client was an Architect I would concentrate on his/her art, not mine.

Thanks, Aidan, lovely as always.   billmcb320@yahoo.com

Anyone headed to Santa Barbara?   Aidan has quite a gallery of his photos in his "office," and was quite nice to this visitor.

Mike, maybe a better answer would be that I don't see a golf course as a single sustaining entity but moreover as small part of a bigger picture, hence I like to show the environment within which the course exists wherever possible.

Thank you Aidan
I thought maybe you were hiding something, never know what you might find in Sicily.

Aidan, a very good shot, as always. And a nice way of presenting your image. Please add me to your list.

You answered part of Mike’s question - what about the food, wine and women?

Hi Aidan, I have been on your list for a long time, the consistent high quality of your pictures is a great source of inspiration for an amateur photographer like me....

Agree with Mike on some of the architecture thats on the pics sometimes......

David........ the food was OK, lots of tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. No wine, scandalous I know, but I am Irish and fond of the "water of life". As to the women, I saw a few but since my daughter was with me on that trip I had to temper my thirst for further exploration. I am sure you can understand........

Aidan,

I've also been a fan for some time now.  Are most or all of your pictures done using a tripod?  Do you use High Dynamic Range to compose the perfect exposure to mix the sky and the ground together?

The problem I often have is that if the sky and clouds are properly exposed, the golf course appears too dark, or if you set the right exposure for the golf course, the sky becomes too bright and there is no way to fix it even using Raw images....

Any tips you could offer?

Thanks

Yannick,

All my images are created with the use of a tripod. If confronted with the situation that you illuded to in your question, I would create one exposure for the foreground and another for the sky and combine them in post. However this is not a situation that I come across very often.

Aidan.

Email sent.

I think you should post a thread each month with your photo, though I can understand if you'd rather not. But I think we can all learn from them,

Mike, I'd love to hear how you read photos, I think it would be enlightening to those of us not in the industry. Do you have specific things that you look for?
