Great pictures Erik! My favorite is the Ian Poulter out of the sand shot. Very nice picture.

Superb photographs.
They look like pro-shots!!

They don't like 'like' a pro....he (Erik) 'is' a pro. His fantastic shots that grabbed my attention the first time I came here looking at a review stood out so much from other stock pic sites that I have stayed ever since.

Veddy Veddy Nice Erik!

What kind of camera and lens are you using? Coming from an avid photographer myself, those were some outstanding pictures, great DOF and colors!

What was your camera rig? What lenses, what resolution if it was a digital back (which I'm assuming it had to be...).

Photo gear is listed here. Every shot was taken with a Canon 5D. It's not a sports camera per se - 3 frames per second - but with good timing (see the O'Hair shot), it's fine.

95% of the photos were taken with the Canon 300/f2.8, and probably 75% of those were with the 1.4 teleconverter. All outdoor ones had a drop-in circular polarizing filter. The remainder of the shots were taken with the 70-200. The monopod is, of course, a lifesaver.

Images weren't cropped much, so if anyone wants to make any prints of some of their favorite players, please feel free to email me and I can likely send a large TIFF file or something.
