Gray Rays
by Lou Gonzalez

Taken from the tee box of a hole at Genesee Valley Golf Course, in Rochester, NY. The sky was quite dramatic that day and I thought to my self, before I screw up my tee shot :) , I should at least capture those wonderful rays of light breaking through the sky. I threw on my IR/ND filters to try and capture the texture of the clouds and rays.

Sony Cybershot
1/60s f/2.0 at 9.7mm iso100 full exif

Lovely the way you have caught the sun's rays. This is exactly the type of shot I would d to take for this subject, but I could not capture one this beautiful! Lisafx

Really stunning image, Lou. IR was a perfect choice. I like how the fairway leads the eye to the brightest point of the sky then veers left...nicely composed and executed. Michael Puff

Good shot for IR. The contrast is very effective. I've taken some of my best IR shots on golf courses. Harry

Lou, I like your capture of the sky here...beautiful cloud formation and light effects. The trees seem to mimic/balance the clouds with your choice of IR too. MFC
