Abstract

A leisure activity image capture system is disclosed comprising an electronic imaging apparatus, such as a digital camera, for directing towards the leisure activity and capturing an image; an image capture trigger, wherein the trigger detects an image trigger action and provides instructions for the electronic imaging apparatus to capture the image; and an electronic point of sale system, wherein the or each captured image is transmitted to the electronic point of sale, which is enabled to allow purchase of the or each captured image. The leisure activity may be golf in which the sound of a golf club striking a golf ball is used as the image capture trigger.
