It turns out it was just wishful thinking.......

So when I was assigned to cover the 2024 BNP Paribas Tennis Open Tournament at the weekend I checked the weather - and it was going to be nice and sunny. Yeah.

So, in my mind, I already had the shots worked out.... a bright sunny summer scene with spectators enjoying a Pimms watching the sports action happening right in front of me. Easy job done.

However... it seems that the best Tennis courts at the Longcamps Centre are the indoor ones! This meant that my plan A went out of the window and I had to capture the action indoors in flat lighting with green curtains as the background and limited access due to inter-court netting!

Oh well, I'm sure that one day my 'dream' of the perfect photoshoot will come around, just not yet!
