I photographed this view of the Miami Open Stadium Court shortly after a cloudless sunset to have a clean and appealing color gradation in the background as the court was lit for the night session, and Nick Kyrgios of Australia started playing against Milos Raonic of Canada during a quarterfinal round match.
Since this was perhaps the first "nice" afternoon during the two-week tournament there were a number of photographers at the top of the stands with the same same shooting idea. I was the only one showing up with a tripod! The reason? I wanted to shoot for HDR processing and experiment with the resulting exposures. There were a lot of hidden details and drama in the view that you couldn't bring out with single exposure.
And since this is Flickr this might help others too.
This image was the result of the only sequence I could shoot. There were some technical issues I had to deal with when I started to set up.
The sequence ended up being a set of 3 manually exposed captures with time intervals. I created three processed layers from the three single captures. Two with Photomatix and one with LR. Then I blended these layers in Photoshop CC.
After all, I'm happy with the resulting final image.

I first saw Anh on an indoor tennis court of the Stade Uniprix, where great players such as Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil have trained in their youth but where a fair share of the playing time is made available to recreational players like me.
She was training with a man on a court next to the area where I was waiting to play. They were exchanging with a great regularity and very fluidly. I couldn’t make out who was the coach but I was impressed with the calm, methodic manner in which they volleyed, lobed, practiced smashes or returns. Everything seemed in control. I enjoy tennis but I’m a late starter and my play is highly unpredictable: one artsy move is generally followed by erratic fails.
After my game was over and I had showered, I noticed, as I was getting ready to leave the building, that the two of them were at a table discussing. I asked them what they were practicing and who was the coach. I learned that Anh was teaching her partner, who is named Alain and is a good competitive senior player, to become a coach himself. She herself plays a fairly high tennis level.
Anh was born in Vietnam and came to Montreal as a young adult. She studied biochemistry and has worked for some time in laboratories doing tests related to environmental issues. She has however realized that she would much prefer to become a full time tennis coach and is working actively at achieving this goal.
Anh will have a big challenge on her hands starting tomorrow AM. I asked her if she would accept to give a total amateur like me weekly lessons during the spring to see if I can become a bit more Zen on a court before the summer comes around. She accepted.

J’ai initialement aperçu Anh sur un court de tennis intérieur du Stade Uniprix, où de grands joueurs tels que Milos Raonic et Vasek Pospisil ont été formés dans leur jeunesse, mais où une part équitable du temps de jeu est mise à la disposition de joueurs occasionnels comme moi.
Elle s’entraînait avec d'un homme sur un terrain à côté de la zone où j’attendais mon heure pour jouer. Ils échangeaient avec une grande régularité et de façon très fluide. Je ne voyais pas qui était l'entraîneur mais j’étais impressionné par leur calme et la manière méthodique avec laquelle ils effectuaient des volée, des lobs et pratiquaient des smashes ou des retours. Tout semblait en contrôle. J'aime le tennis mais j’y ai débuté très tard et mon jeu est très imprévisible: un coup artistique est généralement suivi par des ratés erratiques.
Après avoir terminé ma période de jeu et pris une douche, j’ai remarqué, comme je me préparais à quitter le bâtiment, que les deux partenaires étaient à une table et discutaient. Je leur demandé ce qu'ils pratiquaient et qui était l'entraîneur. J'ai appris qu’Anh enseignait à son partenaire nommé Alain, lun bon joueur compétitif de niveau sénior, afin qu'il devienne entraîneur lui-même. Elle joue aussi elle-même un niveau de tennis assez élevé.
Anh est né au Vietnam et est arrivée à Montréal jeune adulte. Elle a étudié la biochimie et a travaillé pendant un certain temps dans des laboratoires qui font des tests liés à des questions environnementales. Elle a cependant réalisé qu'elle préférerait devenir un entraîneur de tennis à temps plein et travaille activement à la réalisation de cet objectif.
Anh aura un grand défi sur les mains à partir de demain matin. Je lui ai demandé si elle accepterait de donner des leçons hebdomadaires à un total amateur comme moi ce printemps pour voir si je peux devenir un peu plus zen sur un terrain avant l'été. Elle a accepté.

I saw in the news today that a young unknown Canadian tennis player has been making some major upsets at the Australian Open this weekend. His name is Milos Raonic and he’s 20.
I have several photos that I took when he was 14 in 2005. There was a tennis pro from eastern Europe (Guram Kostava of Georgia) who was in Barrie to play the Canadian junior tennis champion for that year, Peter Polansky, who was 17, in a charity match. For some reason Polansky could not make it to the match and young Milos Raonic was thrown in at the last minute so that the game could go ahead. I’m assuming that he was there as a spectator and had his gear with him because he was playing there that day? Milos was living in Thornhill, near Toronto, at that time.
It was quite a match and Milos pushed the 30-year-old pro right to the limit. The final score was 6-4 and 7-6 for Kostava. I remember everyone there, including myself, was really amazed at how well he played.
So I'm not surprised that he is knocking off some top seeds at this years Australian Open. Good for him. This is only his 2nd major tournament as well.

We've come to the final stop of our Pacific Ocean Island Tour, Hawai'i, the Big Island. We've driven from our base in Kailua-Kona to this remote valley in the northeast of the Big Island. It is old Hawai'i at its finest, but, when we were here, a hiking tourist went missing in this isolated and sometimes dangerous area. Firefighters, rescue personnel and local volunteers were searching for the tourist.
As we were only a short time on the island, we did not hike here but continued our drive that day up the slopes of Mauna Kea, where we stayed at the visitor centre into the night.
We were away for the latter part of June into July in England, culminating in a one-day visit to Wimbledon on the hottest day ever there, July 1, Canada Day at home. We watched Canadian Milos Raonic score a victory over Tommy Haas. Now back, I hope to continue seeing/faving/commenting on, pictures of my contacts and posting the rest of The Big Island pictures. Then the England pictures, before leaving for Fryslan (northwest part of the Netherlands) for a family reunion in mid-August.
Yes, Federer was surprisingly knocked out, not by Raonic, but by Pup yay!
Mr R. was unfit (some say it was something in his pre-match cuppa) so Pup stepped into the breach, picked up the baton (and put it down again, picking up the racquet instead) and scorched her way to victory 6-3, 6-3, 6-1, thus taking Federer out and making the finals a marginally safer place for Andy Murray! Actually, Pup had to agree to a no-press arrangement, so you'll never read this in the newspapers or hear it on TV or radio ;-p
However, her unorthodox method of catching the ball in her jaws before tossing it up and hitting a scorching return from her racquet, she isn't allowed to play in the finals (Boo!), so Raonic takes her place. We hope Murray's got the beating of him!
Pup the Hero (or should that be heroine?) Strikes again 😄
Murray wins Wimbledon Final 6-4, 7-6, 7-6!!
