ilona wellmann 0 Posted December 15, 2002 This is a great capture Robert! I like the perspective. Link to comment
robert_mcgee 0 Posted December 16, 2002 To show more of how I shot through the brige I thought I would show a sample of a similar shot. Link to comment
robert_mcgee 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Shot this actually through the beams of a bridge I was photographing. Link to comment
niranjn 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Beautiful curves. I love the perspective. I like it that the golfer and his shadow have both been caught against the background of the path (and not the grass). I have the feeling that the crop is a bit too tight. -Niranjan. Link to comment

studio5nine 0 Posted December 16, 2002 Like a previous commenter stated 'My feet hurt'Is this a par 5There is a course like this in Oakland Ca that has a hole that looks like this, a par 6 (Over 600 yards) with no path. Link to comment
j_c 0 Posted December 16, 2002 This one jumped off of the monitor screen at me. Very nice capture. Nice color, balance etc. Arn't you the guy who does self portraits ? is that you ? ( just kidding) Link to comment
robert_mcgee 0 Posted December 16, 2002 I had no idea I was know as "the guy that does the self portraits." but no... that is not me. Where I took the shot... and where this gentleman is are about 25-30 minutes of travel time, walking/driving. Link to comment
g1 0 Posted December 18, 2002 Great design with colour, shape,and form, and the person really puts the scene in context. I'm not so keen on the square crop suggested above. I like the fact that the path leads to alternative landform and texture at the top, and the green velvety texture of the golf lawn is an appealing element so the B&W doesn't work for me either. Only thing is, I wish the golfer were walking into the frame instead of out. Link to comment
robert_mcgee 0 Posted December 18, 2002 I have to agree. walking into the frame would be more preferred. I was so far away though I dont think screaming out "Hey! turn around!" would have been heard. As far as commercial value I think the folks at the golf course liked seeing more course. It helps to "sell" the course. Link to comment
jerome_wilson 0 Posted December 20, 2002 Someone questioned whether it was a Par 5. Yes it is. You're looking at hole three on the Austin Country Club Golf Course. The 360 bridge is probably on of the most photgraphed landmarks in Austin. Nice Work. Great Portfolio. Link to comment
robert_mcgee 0 Posted December 20, 2002 A friend and I went out to shoot the Bridge and this became my money shot. he barely shot the bridge too. He shot more macros of spiders and flowers on the cliff. Funny how shoots turn out sometimes. Link to comment
noyan 0 Posted December 21, 2002 Good composition and perspective.The man standing is the complementary element. Link to comment
dave_holland 0 Posted December 22, 2002 As a photographer, I like the snaking line, and the long perspective. As a golfer, I am dismayed at the fact that he spends all that time walking an asphault driveway. As much as I understand the reasoning behind asphault, I am saddened by the trend toward golf carts and paving. Walden noted, 'a good walk, spoiled'. Link to comment
robert_mcgee 0 Posted December 22, 2002 He really didnt walk the whole path. I only got three shots of him. I think the path is there for just the carts. I have to commend him for walking the course and not driving it. I think he was just burnin' calories. Link to comment
mike_sea 0 Posted January 5, 2003 A very nice shot of a great subject matter with nice ciolouring to top the shot off. Robert, the only suggestion I could add is in regard to the cropping. While I don't know what else was available in the original frame, I feel that the slight cutting of the path in the top RH corner leaves me wondering. Maybe you couldn't keep the full curve in. In the same issue, the close cropping on the LHS of the path is again too close to the bone for my eye. These are two very small points in an otherwise great shot. Mike Sea Link to comment
naked_photographer_paulie_ 0 Posted January 10, 2003 Very nice. I can feel what your man is on about. Makes me want to golf. Link to comment
