2011 american century classic from hole 17

this was my fourth year taking pictures from the side of the 17th green at edgewood. as always, i’ll put up a large gallery over on aboutlaketahoe.com/events/celebrity-golf.htm. but there are some that i like more from a photography standpoint than just to provide content about the tournament. i’ll put those up here. most of this stuff is nowhere near the level of the pros with thousands of dollars in glass and all access, but that’s why this is photography for (and from) dummies. all the shots here were taken with the canon t2i. the vast majority were with the sigma 50-200 f/4-5.6 dc os.

prolly should have gotten some sort of artificial lighting on this one.

lights on the lake

there were no shortage of fireworks displays this year on or near lake tahoe. both sunday (july 3) and monday the fourth gave us three options. on sunday i watched the squaw valley show after the free big head todd & the monsters concert. monday i set up shop at edgewood, and got some great pics of the big show, with the jameson beach displays (and the moon) showing up in the background. hover over the pictures for the exif data if you are interested.

we’ll start by saying happy b-day to the red, white, and blue.
