PHOTONews Canada Summer 2011

Camilo Villegas Since my trip to cover a PGA tournament, I have seen many photos of Camilo Villegas crouching close to the ground to envision the path of the ball, but I have never seen a photo of him in this position. It was necessary to analyse the movement to find a spot where I could capture this perspective, and the definitive moment for the photo. In the photo, the ball is just in front of the golfer, and I had to shoot at ground level to see his eyes, lined up with the ball. I shot at 1/500 second at f/7.1, ISO 200, and used the 400mm lens. In a situation like this, you have to shoot fast because you have very little time to catch the essential moment.
