  Golf! by Alistair Wilson

  This is very much an experimental work with a flood filter, the original photo was taken at the Apollo Bay Golf Course just off Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road. With the processing I wanted to produce a simple image that was vibrant and easy to look at. Flood filter applied in Adobe Photoshop CS3, other alterations including saturation and contrast applied in Adobe Lightroom.

  Interwin by Barssel

  Interwin ridden by Sam Lyle from New South Wales competing at the Melbourne Three Day Event, CCI* Cross Country phase June 8th 2008. Interwin is a 16.3hh, Dark Bay, 11 year old, TB gelding owned by Sue Hemsworth and Sue Weekes. Eventing is the Equestrian Triathlon – one rider and one horse in Dressage, Cross Country and then Showjumping – this is the extreme sport of Eventing at the highest level. Three-day Eventing, usually abbreviated by horse enthusiasts to “Eventing”, began as a test of the cavalry horse. Military horses were required to travel long distances, negotiate the many natural obstacles, and then perform strict parade manoeuvres. Competitions began in this event in Europe in 1902 and interest in the sport is still concentrated mainly in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. Equestrian events have been on the Olympic program since 1900, when jumping events were held during the Olympics in Paris. However, equestrian events were not held again until 1912 in Stockholm. Since that year, the sport has always been on the Olympic program. The program has been remarkably constant. An interesting footnote to Olympic competition is prior to 1952, equestrian sports events during the Olympics were contested by men only. In fact, the riders had to be military athletes. More specifically, they had to be commissioned officers. In 1952 these restrictions were lifted, and since then men and women have competed against each other in the equestrian events.

  Baseball #1 USA Sport! LOVE's IT! by leih2008

  Even though this American Flag was on the back of the oposing team helmet. I had to shoot the photo because baseball is the #1 sport for some of the boys on my block! They also know how to rock! Yeah that’s right they have stayed in school! Got good grades. Set good examples for the younger neighbor kids and have their own rock band which is really cool! So, when they boys are all in town you’ll hear them playing for their family and friends. No one around here will complain because it’s a win – win situation they know even when the kids have moved on. They can still stop by and visit Coach or the Mrs. for a meal, or some advice if things are going a little wrong. So, basically the point of this photo here! Keep your kids involved in life, (sports or something they want to do. Maybe they’ll play the violin or drums or dance?) ... Whatever “THEY CHOOSE” you’ll have them not too far from the straight and narrow path veer. Enjoy!!
