Gear

Olympus OM1 - 40-150MM f2.8

Description

I was trying to take pictures to show they were from the Olympics, by including the Olympic rings wherever possible, but by accident from my seat at the back, I saw the opportunity to take an image of Rafael Nadal with a clean background as the court had such a large area behind the baseline. It was coming to the end of a set, before the clay is smoothed out again, so made for an interesting textured background. Shooting at f2.8, ISO400, -1.7EV, gave me more than enough speed at 1/16,000 sec.
