Sunrise on my municipal golf course's links-style nine holes (the city runs 36 holes). I worked it out and if I didn't play any more this year, my yearly pass has gotten the price down to $4 per 9-hole round. I'm hoping to get that down to about $2.50 per round by the time the snow flies in October/November.

I'm pretty sure all that golf has also cost me in the neighborhood of 2,000 photos, but that's a misleading opportunity cost because how many of those would have been keepers, anyway? Besides, I started the year at about a 30 handicap and I'm now down to 16. Too bad photography doesn't have a similar system: Sorry, you're a scratch photographer so you can't enter this competition if you shoot raw. Or crop. Or use photoshop.

Don't think I've shared this one here. For this photo I had one of my daughters standing about 5 feet inside of the house, I'm roughly 3 feet outside of the house, on tripod, shooting through an open door. It was afternoon so the sun was already technically behind her but the sky was bright enough behind me to cast a nice glow of light across her face. Earlier that morning I'd pruned a tree so I had my other daughter kneeling and holding two of those branches just behind her. A black backdrop is behind all of this. Shot at f/2.0 to render the leaves out of focus.

I had fun with Photoshop with this one. The wall colour was about the same as her skin, so I changed it to add contrast. Then I thought it would be nice if her eyes and earring matched the wall.
