AVP Crocs Tour Chicago

Ty !!!!!!!!!!
You're just killing me !!!
Can you make it on Saturday with Frank & I ??? I hope so, IF our weather holds out!
Be great to see you again Buddy!
Oh... "acceptable shots" too : ~ )

 

Nice shots Ty. Post more from Saturday.

 

Nice, but I would recommend more practice, preferably at the ladies matches.:wink:

 

Sweet shots here TY, caught some good action, #3 is my fav of the bunch.

 

Ty, I'm hoping it misses us too. Hey, PM sent !

 

Look forward to Saturday's postings. .. .

These are great Ty.

 

Wow! Nice. I assume you guys will be there on Sunday as well?

 

Looking good buddy and I hope we get the opportunity to get more images. Although we need the rain, why does it have to rain during this event?

 

Very nice Ty, but where are the Cuervo girls?

 

I am so jealous. All the top players are back from the Olympic trials. You all will definitely get some real good stuff for your portfolios.
Enjoy!!!

 

Nice looking Shots Ty
Hope the weather holds out for the weekend
Don't let the retiree fall asleep I want to see some great shots from you all

 

So I'm watching the match and I noticed two photographers during a volley...

NIKON D300    ---    50mm    f/2.8    1/80s    ISO 200

Sorry for the poor quality, its a snap shot of the tv. lol

 

I got to meet the guy on the right last nite. His name is Patrick, lives in Indianapolis, shoots 5 or 6 matches a season. This weekend he is working for Volleychick magazine. He was getting some really nice pictures. He was shooting a D300 with grip, and 70-200 VR, and also a D70s with a 50mm. Really a nice guy, and we hung out and shot 3 or 4 matches, both of us trying to figure out how to shoot from bright sun, into and thur shadows..... it was very challenging to say the least!! Said he would send me some of his nice shots when he gets home Sunday night.

The tv cams are in the main arena, but if you go outside the main event, there are about 10 other courts where the majority of the matches are played. It was really nice to be within 6-8' of the court, right at the net!! The players are also very friendly and more than willing to talk when not playing.

Y'all should go out if you get a chance.
