Just below Richmond, va downtown is a place called Rockette's Landing..they have two sand beach volleyball courts and the dogs and I rode there today and I took some photos with my travel camera from above of the women pro's playing beach volleyball. You can probably figure out why I plan on becoming a fan of women's pro beach volleyball! Shot in ten minutes from the street one level above with my travel Sony DSCRX10Mk2 camera. Did a fair job considering it is a bridge camera. These are also compressed. We also visited Osborne boat landing below that on the James R. that flows through Richmond on the way to Hampton Roads and the ocean 110 miles downstream.
Fun to use such a capable travel camera shot on automatic and just lightened it up slightly on post processing.
Pretty good athletes and I approve of the costume they compete in! then we went and watched a family take off for a river ride from the boat landing....
Strong, fit young ladies. I love to watch this sport at the summer Olympics. Great sequence of shots.

Yep. Misty Mae still looks good!!
You need a longer lens or a better camera, maybe both.
The ladies are going to be sorry about 20 years from now that they got so tan. Hope they can keep their great figures, though.

They've been doing it for 20 years, and still have good skin & bods
When they hit 50, they will see the damage. No one escapes. A tan means you have injured your skin.
you, sir, apparently cannot read the explanation for the photos taken with a bridge travel camera. If I had wanted to shoot it for Sports Illustrated I'd have done it with my Nikon D4 and pro lenses. My objective was quick travel photo and nothing else. Your objectives appear to be not to read and think about what you read. Up to you of course and thank you for your comment. I will give it exactly the consideration it deserves. That will take about 1.4 seconds. Sheesh.
