Gentleman's Singles 3rd Round
Middle Sunday, Centre Court, Wimbledon, South West London, UK
During this two-week sports event, besides shooting extensively for my assignment, I took a lot of time to shoot a great number of images as tests too. I never stop learning. I made notes of the numerous combinations of lenses, f/ stops, shutter speed, and camera bodies.
The vast majority of my images were shot with the Canon 1D-X and the Canon 300mm f/2.8. I also used extensively the new 1.4 II Extender.
This image in particular was shot with the Canon 7D-MII and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 @200mm. The camera body has a 1.6 crop factor. Technically you are shooting at 320mm.
This image came out as good as you can expect, even at it's natural resolution- not to mention the ball captured at impact, which is a huge bonus.
Here is one fact I reconfirmed: the 7D-MII will give you really wonderful images with the added convenience of the crop factor. Tracking, if you know how to use it, works really well. Every single sport or action activity will require extensive testing too. Ultimately, if you want to make big enlargements or high-quality magazine printing, you will not be able to squeeze out the superb image quality of the 1D-X, which gets pretty evident at higher ISO levels.
