Golf Course Panoramic

There are from a panoramic I did in 2001 for my brother.  At the time he was working for a golf tournament in Houston and needed images of the facilities so he got us on the course before the tournament started for the day to get shots of the tents, scoreboards, and stuff. 

I had brought my EOS 1v to take the shots, but we also took them with my dad's little point & shoot digital.  Turns out that for the size it's printed the 2mpx images were more than enough to not have to worry about scanning film.

And if you ever want to go somewhere really restrictive about cameras, try bringing one into a PGA Tour event.  We had to get cleared through the media department and have our cameras tagged with a bright yellow band and were told that under no circumstances were we to take images of the golfers during play.  We had "outside the ropes" passes and couldn't take any pictures once the ropes were up. 

The first is the shot and the second is the poster that I did from it.

Cool.  I have taken tent shots for the company I work for, and those big white tents are hard to shoot in bright light.
Never at a golf course though,  that's crazy about the restrictions.  Makes sense though.

Nicely done, Ryan. Smiley My brother-in-law was a marshal at the US Open and he told us the regulations are insanely complex. I guess they have their own photographers and don't want anyone stepping on their toes. Tongue

Wow didn't know it was so tight.  There is going to be an LPGA event close to me next year and I was going to look into it, but now I think I will just let it go.
