Last week I had a round of golf with Simon Chadwick at Ipswich Golf Club, which is very close to Amberley RAAF Base - Home of the Australian F/A-18E/F Super Hornets.
The 16th hole is a long dog leg left Par 5 that goes over a rise, down a long hill and across a creek just in front of the green. Bunkers surround the green and the photo here - taken by Simon Chadwick using my Canon G1X Powershot - shows me blasting out of a deep one.
Testament to the ease of use of the G1X I just threw the camera to Simon and said "Here - take a shot of this will you...?" He only had the time that it took for me to grab my sand iron, walk to the bunker and line up the shot to get the camera turned on, select the appropriate mode (Shutter Speed Priority, Tv), select the shutter speed and ISO; and take the shot. Nice job - don't you think???
Admittedly, Simon is well versed in the use of Canon Digital SLR's and has done a fair amount of sports photography with Zen Creative Studios - but I still think this is an impressive test of the ease of use of the G1X...
Settings ISO 800, 1/1000 sec at f/8.0, 0 EV
Thanks Simon for the awesome job on the pic - I like it...! It's not often I get a good shot taken of me...
