hi tet. the third photo of the first set is the pick of the lot for me. i like the way you got the shadow in the lower part of the photo. i also like that you caught the expression on her face.

minor comment, though. perhaps you could have cropped the top section a bit tighter. there's too much dead space there.

incidentally, what WB you use for the set?

TFS, Tet! Tennis is one of my favorite sports (as a spectator :) ). It's my dream to watch the Australian Open at the Rod Laver Arena.

but for me, i'd rather have a courtside seat at the us open - less hot...:Grin: with my camera of course, ready for sharapova to show up on court :)

Hi Nolan, u have a point there cropping the upper part it works well too. i Think the red branding of fly emirates quite a bit off.

WB was set on AWB.

Thanks for the comments! :)

Thanks for sharing, Tet. You froze the action very well.

By any chance, were you able to catch any of Daniela Hantuchova's games?

Hi Raffy, I missed the game between Mauresmo vs Hantuchova last thursday sayang! It was too early and i can't leave the office in the afternoon. And most of her games are day time. Btw, Henin gets the title against Mauresmo. :)

Thanks, Tet. Could this be a preview of the French Open finals?:)

galeng Tet. Wish I was there too. Is it really that dark in the stadium that you really have to push the ISO that much 1600 ?

I've seen large action images in the magazines and a very few noise, I wonder how professionals are doing it.

I'm using the old EF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 III lens (Not the USM-Ultrasonic Motor Autofocus lens) without mono/tripod and the maximum aperture i can get is f/5.0 so i have to push the ISO to 1600.

These are the normal telephoto lenses (http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-500mm-f-4.0-L-IS-USM-Lens-Review.aspx) that u can see at the stadium used by the press photographers with monopods. Kakahiyang tumabi. :D

Thanks for viewing Cesar!

Great set, Tet. I can imagine how your shots would look like if somebody gave you a 1 d MkIII and a press pass so that you could shoot at the sidelines. :) You exposed them well, and the action is frozen, as Raffy said. Congrats!

Sana magbilang anghel ka Al! I wish! :D Gonna get a new body but not the 1D MKIII... Probably the 40D when it's out. Thanks for viewing man!
