nice. how'd you get up there? the backgrounds are so nasty where I've been shooting tennis lately, I would kill for a high angle...

Ditto to that comment.

yeah, I lucked out. there are about 16 courts split in half by a raised cement walkway type deal. off to the corners of some of the courts are cement planters raised up even higher (I know, most confusing explanation ever) so I climbed out on those and bingo. It was one of my first times shooting tennis and luckily the light was working at a couple spots really nice with the background by keeping it in shadow and highlighting the player. Hope that helped
