Does anyone knows is that a 500mm F4 ?

Great timing in your shots. Did you machine-gun your shoot? And was there any restriction on camera and shooting? I understand that you're not allow to shoot before the golfer hits the ball or the shutter noise might affect his concentration.

If I hit a bad shot, I will blame the photog.

BTW, was it crowded and entrance fee of $10 or $20? I might want to do some shooting, and learn a trick or two from the world class players too.

Yes, its on machine gun mode. U cannot be anywhere near the Tee or Putting Green. So stay away from anywhere near them.

If I'm not wrong its $50/- for entrance fee. I've gotten in with some other passes.

Yes as well, u cannot click when the are preparing to hit and during their hit.

There is not much that u can shoot on their faces as u cannot stand near them.

What lens were you using?

Burst

No choice lah .. the walkway is meant for lefty. Most of the players are righty and u only see theiw bum most of the time.

Besides, if u are able to see their faces, you will be in the way for their shots. Either that u have a 400mm or 500mm gun standing at the end of the fairway.

Hmm, not enough reach it seems... But good try nonetheless

But u can try to crop a bit more. Too much loose space no good.

NONE... looks like either a 400/2.8 or maybe a 600/4 IS (the look abt the same)... but to be looks like a 400/2.8 L IS.

Both are very heavy lens... my shoulder is hurting now... ^^

Confirm not enough reach.

First u need to stay away from the players, second, if there are crowd, thats another issue ..!

I'd rather just get a 70-200 with 2x.
Won't break my shoulder.

Wanted to crop a bit more but the lost of quality will be obvious... Its only 6mb that I have there. So crop somemore sure to see poor quality leh
