About the Image(s)

In Melbourne during the summer months professional golf tournaments are held. Bunker Blast was taken at a local golf course women's international event. Local players, Europeans and Asian players being the competitors. I thought taking bunker photographs would be easy but this one was the only fairway shot I could get side on. I tried to take the shot on a slower shutter speed 1/160 to capture the sand and the ball flying from the players club but at sufficient speed to capture the players features which I achieved. The photo has a hazy look but being blasted out of a bunker I expected this.
