Hi guys,
Just a quick bit of advice if you don't mind - being a keen amateur golfer myself, I play in a few team events for my golf club - this weekend the team are heading out for a match that I am unable to participate in, so I'm going along to take a few snaps of the day. If successful I'll be doing the same again for a England Golf event in September hosted at my own golf club. It is rather a prestigious event, and I'd like to learn enough with my current equipment to gain the most out of it where possible.
I have a cheapo SLR (Nikon D50) with a couple of lenses:
AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8D
AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G
and the standard AF Nikkor 18mm-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G
I also have a Hoya CIR Polarizing filter.
Obviously I can simply aim, point and shoot on auto etc, but I'm wondering if anyone has got any advice on whether the polarizing filter would be a good shout (is that meant for sunny days mainly?), if it is a bright colorful day should I be doing much with the F-stops on the camera?
I inherited most of the kit above, I'm fairly new to this and having a hunt online for advice, but thought I'd ask here as well.
Thanks
