I loved how the light came through these pine trees and wondered how I could present this shot of a sand trap and trees more uniquely. But of course….Topaz Impression! You can take an average shot and make something very cool out of it. I really should get a sponsorship from Topaz as much as I toot their horn lol.
Forrrreeee!

I love thd sun shining through the trees. I see this often when out with our dog. It’s hard to capture. You did a very nice job.

Thanks so much Dan. I love this time of the evening! Long shadows, golden light and velvety green on the golf course.

Beautiful lighting!
July 7, 2016 at 5:40 pm
It really was! Thank you Belinda. 🙂

I love the light and colors. I like the limited color palette and the fact that the colors are vibrant and subdued at the same time, if that makes sense.
July 7, 2016 at 5:41 pm
Thank you! I’ve often felt golf courses are a limited color palette at times. I do know what you mean and I appreciate the awareness!

I wonder if Mr. Trump was just over the hill 😉
July 7, 2016 at 8:58 pm
God please NOOOOOO
July 7, 2016 at 10:36 pm
He seems to have so many golf courses!
July 8, 2016 at 7:53 am
He does lol

Beautiful warm, and golden light. You made a gorgeous image of this sandtrap.
July 7, 2016 at 8:59 pm
Thank you! Sometimes it’s fun to take pictures of things you wouldn’t normally think of.
July 7, 2016 at 10:48 pm
Perfect, Laura! Very beautiful! Thank you! 🙂

Thanks so much Fabio. 🙂

I want to be sponsored as well!
July 8, 2016 at 7:52 am
Someone contacted me once about sponsorship a few months ago…I read the email and then forgot about it. A few days later I went to look for it and I couldn’t find it! I guess I had deleted it and couldn’t remember the name or find it. Such is my handling of emails!
July 8, 2016 at 8:04 am
Sigh!! Always remember these things! I always forget to log into their webinars
July 8, 2016 at 8:37 am
I’m thinking of checking with a local camera store for sponsorship. Just need to get off my butt to do it!
July 8, 2016 at 9:26 am
Our local camera stores dont sponsor
July 8, 2016 at 12:23 pm
aw…well some do here but it’s just me getting off my butt to do it
July 8, 2016 at 9:03 pm
You are lucky!
July 8, 2016 at 9:22 am
Laura, I love how you photograph trees; it’s always a piece of art.
Blessings ~ Wendy

Thanks so much Wendy. I will admit that I love them. Maybe I should focus on trees for a bit. I like how accessible they are. 🙂
July 8, 2016 at 1:15 pm
Trees aren’t flighty like birds and butterflies. 🙂 But you never know what might show up while you’re taking pictures of trees.
July 8, 2016 at 1:31 pm
that is so true! And not too hard to get to like driving through traffic to get to the Golden Gate or the Coast. 🙂
July 8, 2016 at 1:33 pm
Oh, but your bridge and beach shots are magnificent; they’re worth the drive.
July 8, 2016 at 8:59 pm
Oh ok :). If you insist!
July 11, 2016 at 2:27 pm
Very nice. Are you processing in Photoshop?
July 11, 2016 at 3:49 pm
This one was LR to Topaz, no PS. Most of my images go to PS after LR.
July 11, 2016 at 3:49 pm
And thank you!
July 12, 2016 at 5:01 pm
Absolutely beautiful! Magical sunlight capture!
July 12, 2016 at 5:26 pm
Thank you! Who said golf isn’t interesting lol.
July 12, 2016 at 5:31 pm
If I were there, I’d watch it with tears and forget about golfing.
July 12, 2016 at 5:37 pm
That’s what I do lol! I used to golf but can’t any longer. I replaced it with photography and it’s a much better choice!
July 12, 2016 at 5:46 pm
Me, too! I used to play 3 times a week. But, I spent half of the time waiting in line!! I agree, photography is a much better choice. 🙂
July 12, 2016 at 5:52 pm
How funny we had the same experience with golf and photography.
July 12, 2016 at 6:04 pm
