Hi Tom

are you using your 300 or 400, and also are you media. I am shooting on court, as media.

very nice shots.

Joseph,

Not in the media, Could only use 70-200 f2.8 L due to 200mm lens restrictions for public. Did use a 1.4x TC on some as well.

Tom.

Thats awsome...a little bit of noise reduction and i think your photos would look even better...those look like you had a sideline pass

Nice shots once it gets warmer out here tennis is one thing I would like to shoot I dont unstand the sport all too much but its fun to watch

nice shot of Grosjean bending low, pity your seat was not nearer the net - looks like you were about level with the baseline which is not ideal.

Thanks for the comments, will try these with a bit of Neat Image.

Hi T_O_M.

Wonderful shots there; I especially like the one where you can clearly see the compression of the ball. I'm heading back to the Open today with my 30D, but for now I have a few shots taken with the G9. I was actually very impressed with how the little cam held up!
