The Story: Fall is my favorite time of year to photograph disc golf. Not just because of the bright fall colors, but the light has a great yellow hue during the afternoon.
This is one of my favorite images from the fall.
The blue disc in contrast with the orange and yellow leaves really appealed to me. This was an approach shot on hole No. 15 at Hawk Hollow in Spotslvania, Virginia.
Hawk Hollow is the most photographer-friendly disc golf course I’ve ever been on.
For this shot, I hung back about 50 feet and used a 300mm F/4 lens to get this shot. When I realized he was going to throw an overhand shot, I tilted the shot to make sure I got the disc in the frame.

Great shot, amazing color… Even though I don’t know/understand any of the technical camera jargon, I do enjoy these pieces.
