I went to the Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes at the weekend, had a great time and managed to sneak a good few photos while dodging the camera police (aka marshals - although they allowed mobile phones for the first time they still tried to stop all unofficial photography). I'd just bought a nice little Canon S90 so it was a good chance to get to grips with it.
This one made me giggle, the Marshal is doing a sterling job at keeping the crowd at bay...
