    Congratulations Joel....you've taken the lazy man photography to a new level.....sitting in your living room watching golf w/a cup of coffee while photographing. I'm impressed! Now get some backlighting and drop the flashes for the wing pattern blur.

    The "different equipment" photo is the position I want to capture w/the backlighting and ultraslow shutter speed....my HBs just haven't cooperated yet.

    BTW....wasn't that a phenomenal (tournament) finish to yesterday's PGA? I was so wrapped up in it, I missed shooting the super moon.

    I have so many trees around the house there isn't a good place to get back light naturally and, yes, what an incredible finish....I thought Rory was finished once he got 3 strokes behind. Reminded me of TW 12 years ago.

    You guys are killing me. It is not bad enough you post great photo after great photo, but now you are just showing off by sitting back in an lounge chair watching TV while you snap great shots with great ease.

    You ought to see the zillions of deleted images for every one that is in focus with a good pose. At least for me, this method has a very low keeper rate but a true "lazy man" doesn't care about that Here's one more......

    Just being a little facetious. Trust me... I know a good picture is not by accident or luck. It takes a lot of dedication, planning, and patience to get the images you get. And I do not envy the amount of time you must spend in front of a computer in order to share them with us, but I am glad you do.
