The Last Green
By James W Gillies
“This simple shot may look like it was
taken on a weekend golfing trip, but I
actually took it at 7.15am, on the way to
work. I think the low early morning sun
really brings out the vibrancy of the

Ten Green Bottles
By niCk kemp
“I shot these bottles hand-held, using a single Bowens
400w lamp and a standard reflector directed onto the
back of the bottles against a light coloured background. I also placed a
black board on top of the bottles to get the reflections where I wanted
them, under the rims.”

green. I was mindful that if you use the
lens at its full zoom, and focus at not too
far a distance, it shortens the depth of
field. Because there was a rise up to the
green itself, which then fell away to the
hole, I was able to lay down on the grass
and use the highest parttosteady my
camera and lens.”

Into the Unknown
By Joseph lamBert
“This picture was an experiment with shutter speeds.
I closed the focal area down to a single point and auto
focused on the light. The camera was mounted on a tripod to eliminate
camera shake and a shutter speed of 2.5 seconds let in just the right
amount of light to isolate the surrounding railings and the arch.”
