TENNIS IS RELATIVELY STRAIGHTFORWARD to photograph but it does present two issues: 1. Being outdoors, the lighting can change drastically from one moment to the next.

Keep an eye on your settings, especially if the weather changes. 2. The fence can get in the way of focusing and make for ugly images. The solution is to get as close to the fence as possible and have the front of the lens be a few inches from the fence. The camera isn’t able to focus that closely and it should be well outside of the depth of field to interfere.

SAFETY SHOTS

The serve is something that every player does multiple times throughout the meet. Options for this photo include getting the ball high above them and as the racket meets the ball. Every player will also wait anxiously for the serve, usually in a “ready” position.
