Great stuff, Eric, but wrong sub-forum though :-( Any luck with the CF recovery?

If you look closely, it says Photography Forum, discuss aviation and non-aviation photography.

We just have the Photography Forum.

Eric...I hope you're doing this in some sort of official capacity over there because these are excellent. I pretty much have no interest in tennis at all, but I really love several of these shots. In that next to last set you posted, the next to last shot with a big chunk of blue in it with the woman serving....that kicks ass

Thanks. And nope, I'm not "official" would be nice though. All my shots are from publicly accessible areas.

I'm about to post MY US Open stuff, too. I think you and I should push Phil to get us press passes for next year's event, haha. Do you play, too, or are you just a fan of watching?

The application to get press passes is/was like 27 pages long the last time I looked into it.lol Also you have to have your paper work in by March and i'm not always thinking about the US Open at that time so I miss the deadline.
I have a friend that might be able to help me out for next year.

I play occasionally, I should play more. Have to get my racket re-griped

[ANITIX87]

Not nearly as good as Eric's stuff, but here goes!
