Description This was a fun shoot. This kids mom contacted me to do a portrait of her son playing golf. I had this idea of this shot right after I got off the phone. And it turned out just how I wanted it to.

I lit this with 2 flashes and sync'ed it up with pocketwizard plus trasnmitters and recievers. So anyway enjoy!

Great shot with so vivid colors! The perspective is just amazing! the sun at the back of the guy is a great detail with all those rays making the photo shines by itself!

f13ish and expose for the sky, then use a REALLY powerful flash. That will do the trick.

dude where are your flashes in this. location? it's crazy how he's so well lit but the sun and sky still pop. i've really liked the last couple i've seen you submit with heavy flash work. i have an sb-50dx. the only flash work i do is bounce of a white ceiling. otherwise i'm crippled when it comes to flash photography. help me. what does it cost to start a decent flash set with your little pocketwizard gizmo?

Thanks man. I used 2 flashes. The one on the right was up on a stand and the one on the left was down near the ground to light the club.

A set of pocketwizards is around $375....... nothing is cheap haha

Haha, I would, but I'm flat broke seeing how I just purchased my 20D kit.

I'm sure someone would love to buy it though. I'll ask around if you'd like.
