    First time shooting tennis..

    Never tried tennis before so I had no idea what to expect. Took a few games to figure out the timing on getting the ball in the shot but I'm somewhat happy with what I got. What is your favorite photo so I know what to focus on next time?

    Nice series of snaps. Numbers two and four appear a tad soft but for the first time shooting tennis these are pretty good.

    Outstanding effort for the first time out on a sport. You time was very good on several of these and you caught some great expressions.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    I know nothing of tennis. But I would say your timing is really good on these getting the ball and your focus on most of these looks really good. Good job on these.


    The ball on #6 looks a bit fake. Did you PS that one in?

    I didn't PS anything. Maybe it looks odd because its a serve before the ball was hit so it was moving slow?

    I think theirs a few more tournaments coming up to do. I gotta say tho... after doing baseball getting the ball for that is way harder then tennis!!
