Legg Mason Tennis

Though I am mainly focusing on weddings and engagement pictures, I still like to take on special projects to keep me sharp. This week I have been invited by a good photographer friend of mine, Christy Bowe, to shoot the Legg Mason Tennis Classic. This was definitely cool to take part in for the sheer fact that I love sports and having the opportunity to shoot an event like this is a nice treat for any sports fan. I must admit, I was a little nervous coming into this event as a photographer. "Why?" you may ask... well... in the world of sports photography you are judged by the gear you bring to the table. My Nikon D90 (fabulous camera!!!) sure got some funny looks by all of the Canon Mark II users and Nikon D3 users in atendance. Never one to back down from a fight, I found that what I lacked in speed I sure made up for in the form of my nifty Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8f AF-S VR II zoom lens. That's right, my little buddy and I were not going to be mocked easily. We'll see how the rest of the week goes.

Here is a sample of the Young vs Hewitt match.
