Something Wicked This Way Comes...
Location: Destin, FL – Regatta Bay Golf & Country Club
Camera:Canon A-10 EOS 35 mm
Lens: Tamron 28-200mm
Film: Fujicolor 200 speed
This shot was taken on a very foggy night in April of 2000. I was driving by the Regatta Bay Golf Course while the country club had a tournament going on. They had the restaurant all lit up behind this stand of trees. We could see the shot from the road and though it was misting rain. I managed to risk my camera equipment and trespassed onto the golf course to get the shot. It was my FIRST time trespassing and I was sure I would get caught, but the shot was totally worth it. The fog the mist and the lighting all combined to make a once in a lifetime eerie effect. Even the colors in this shot have not been adjusted much. The lights shooting into the air were blue in color. Only minor cropping and editing of contrast were done in Photoshop CS3.

Thanks so much!
Richard Harper
When you know that this is pretty much as you saw it, it makes it far more exciting.
Blaze66 replied
Yes I agree! The lighting was blue I really didn’t play much with it at all. I just tuned up the contrast just a bit as the mist of rain had impacted the shot a bit and dulled some of the clarity. But other than that it is pretty spot on for what was in front of the lens. Thank you!
hologram
incredible !!
