Well, it seems to be that I like to write my blog while I’m abroad. I’ve been over a week now here in Thailand shooting golf pics for the Golf Digest Finland. The first week I spent with a Scandinavian group but the Swedes and Danes started their journey back home a few days ago. Thanks again for the nice company and hey Guggen, you really showed me how to play golf like a real gentleman! I still had some work to do so I took a flight from Bangkok to rainy Phuket (270mm/month in May!!!)

I really need to get my shots from famous Blue Canyon Golf Course. Unfortunately I didn’t have the permission organized beforehand and it turned out to be quite difficult. After two days of e-mailing and various phone calls I finally get the green light.
I’ve learned that early wake ups tend to pay off, especially in the tropics. So I get to the club before the sunrise to meet the marketing manager. While I’m still waiting for her to come to meet me I take a sneak peak around the corner. I see the perfect view in a perfect light and grap my camera. In five minutes I know I just shot probably the most beautiful photo of the whole trip.

You might not like it, but wake up early! That’s one of my golden rules when I’m working outdoors.
