Not quite ready for the Sports section here yet.:rofl

Samantha loves to play tennis. These were shot today after a rainstorm. I didn't bother to dry the court since the clouds were still rolling in.

Keep your eye on the ball.

    Unlikely, but she does like to go out and hit the balls. Thanks for looking.

    Wonderful series. You are lucky to have a such a wonderful in-house model! I love the similarity between the first and last. Pose-swing-contact-follow through-pose. [repeat as necessary]:D

    WOW! The last two images are superb! clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    (Although the last one seems to have a green cast on my screen)

    You could make serious $$ marketing these two to the right tennis magazine, or tennis equipment company.

    Thanks, Sam.

    It was a rainy day, and I struggled with the shadows and color cast beneath the visor of her pink hat. When I dodged the area, the cast just got worse.

    Try, try again!

    Ah me... are there any NOT adorable pictures of Samantha? Very cute indeed, Mitchell - #2 is my favorite because she's in such a perfect "action" position and concentrating so hard... combined with that "yes, I am really only 5" tongue sticking out. Just precious!

    Are these with the d700?

    What a great series Mitch and a lovely daughter. You can definitely tell she is going to be a force in tennis...just look at how she has control of the racket and her eye is fixed on the ball all the way through her swing clap.gif
