Etiquette of on-court Tennis Photography? |
I'm an aspiring photographer, and I have a press pass to a local tournament. However, I'm not sure of the etiquette of being a photographer on court. I know there's no flash photography, and that I should stay still during points, but is there anything else I need to know? Naturallyphotogenic.com Obviously be still and quite. If you are shooting film, keep and eye on your picture count so your camera doesn't decide to auto-wind at the wrong time. If your all digital it isn't an issue. Also I recommend a tripod, your arms can get really tired trying to hold a camera during a long rally. Finally, not really an etiquette thing, but you can use a remote shutter switch to help get candid shots of the fans. Often a fan will act more reserved when the see you focusing on them. but if you set the camera up and then seem to be watching the match you can get some great reactions. ~pick one good spot and stay still thats it~ Just stay still while the point is going on. Do not switch positions on the court until the players do which is on odd games. Try not to stand directly behind the baseline so you are in the players line of sight. |
