US Open 2007

David Nalbandian ...



Tim Henman, flaring his nostrils while serving. He's going to retire after the US Open, not giving any more false hopes for his countrymen. Nice fella off court, playful, good with his fans.



Jonas Bjorkman getting ready to return.

  1. Great pictures [to the untrained eyes such as yours truly's].

    IMHO, you don't need the D3 or other top cameras to make your photos look better. They're very good already.

  2. Thanks, Mr. Sweet, you are just like your name, sweet.

    Once a year, I shoot this tennis event (sound so professional, eh? I just go there when it's open to public) I know how hard it is to capture the action. I think I just learned something as I shot it yesterday. If you were to shoot it the conventional way, the right equipment helps a great deal.

  3. Yeah, every human endeavour is a speciality in the right hands. There's a lot to learn when you want to do it really well, or like a pro.

    Now I know where you money going to ? But, Prof. Black, buy whatever that you want, just like me, go to anywhere that I can afford. I like Maria Sarapova, why no pic ?

  5. wp2007, last year, I lucked out, she and her entourage just walked in to the court where I had been hanging around. This year, there was no such luck.

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
