Tennis Sports and Lifestyle Shoot

At the end of a half days Tennis shooting, I got Heike to jump the net to illustrate the excitement of winning. Luckily it only took about 3 takes using continuous shooting mode with no casualties.

Careful use and knowledge of lighting meant that we ended up with bright, rich colours. Whereas if we had shot from the other side of the net, the sky would have been pale blue with the sun directly in our lens, a totally different outcome.

It is always good to look behind and around your subject to ensure you make use of the best possible lighting.

I wasn't totally happy with the background and a couple of telegraph poles, wires and a billboard have already been removed to "clean up" the image.
