I think I need to take more pics of tennis, before I'd call myself a PRO....:)

Today I was just testing out settings on my New Camera, so I did not take too many images, as I was with the lads from Canon from time to time...

Tomorrow will be a long day at tennis alot of games on tomorrows list

Yes thats with 120-300 Sigma.... I think today I will use a 400 2.8, but for tennis alot of people use a 300 or 70-200 mm lenses

I don't feel so depressed now, for some reason. :rolleyes:

Still, it's always nice to be away, especially when you can get such good photos.

Still no play here due to the rain, looks like its going to be wet most of the week, last year it was 30+C and great sun!!

Tennis is not a bad sport, when its wet you just look out of the window! and drink tea!!

Thanks.....
