River Oaks





River Oaks County Club in Houston provides an intimate environment for shooting professional tennis action.

These images were shot at River Oaks, during the US Men's Clay Court Tennis Championships held there in April, 2010.

Shooting under bright overcast skies and at close proximity (third row), I was able to stop the action with a 200mm f/2.8L lens at ISO 800, f/8, and exposed for 1/1000 sec. I found that I had to underexpose by a full stop to prevent the blinkies on those bright white tennis outfits.
