 1 week ago was Tips for Changing Perspective and Improving your Photography

I got to go the MASTERS practice rounds on Wednesday, 8 April 2015.....

It was so cool to see the golfers with their kids, Tiger Woods included!!

There were several errant balls on our hole. 

One man got hit on his shin and got 2 signed golf balls, AND got invited to actually putt a few times right there with the players!!

I think he was glad he got hit!! 

I'm not name dropping (cough, cough) but we saw: Jack Nicklaus, Ben Crenshaw, Gary Player, Fred Couples, Jordan Spieth, Tiger Woods, Lindsey Vonn, Ray Floyd, and Condoleezza Rice.... 

And, once I can watch the tutorial on how to start my photography website, you'll be able to see more pictures from the Masters! 
I'll keep you posted on that!

Masters by Mary Denman Photography

Today, I want to talk to you about taking unique shots. I was able to attend the Wednesday practice round at the Masters at Augusta Nationals this week! It includes a par 3 tournament.

One of the best parts about attending the practice rounds is that cameras are allowed. About 30 - 40,000 patrons a day attend. Thousands and thousands, armed with cameras. So what could make my shots different? How could I stand out? 

I was only taking the pictures for me and my family, and to share here. So why was I thinking about unique photos? Because I keep pushing myself to be a better photographer. To see picture opportunities others might miss. To document the feel of the event. 

So let's run through these shots and see why I took them.
