We enjoyed a sunny 4-day weekend in Chalifert with perfect weather for outdoor fun, including a full day at Roland Garros. Chiara is bursting with energy these days, making public transport a real challenge! She’s happiest when she’s outside, running around as much as possible. ☀️🎾

Canon EOS 5D MkII – EF 100mm – 1/2000s f/2.8, ISO 100 – In the outdoor Jacuzzi with Sab, enjoying water and a new swimming suit. The picture was taken using our 100mm macro which we use more and more for portraits.

Canon EOS 5D MkII – EF 100mm – 1/500s f/3.2, ISO 100 – Three to four times per day is the number of time we have to do the swing with Chiara. She knows perfectly where it is in the garden now and “Ba” is still top of the favourite outdoor toys even if the sand is getting closer.

Canon EOS 5D MkII – EF 17-40mm – 1/250s f/8, ISO 100 – Early morning on top of the court Suzanne Lenglen – far from full for a very south-American 1/8 final between A. Falla and J. I. Chela. The picture was taken from the top of the court, was darken and given a sepia look.

Canon EOS 5D MkII – EF 100mm – 1/640s f/3.5, ISO 100 – Gael Monfils during warm up before the end of his match against Ferrer. The picture is a massive crop as we did not bring any decent zoom to do some proper tennis players photography – so I had to get closer with the 100mm and then isolate the player in Lightroom.

Canon EOS 5D MkII – EF 17-40mm – 1/320s f/5.6, ISO 100 – Just after Gael Monfils victory, the two players are still at the net and everyone is standing up for an big ovation in a full court completely behind the frenchman. I thought the cropping was given an interesting perspective even if the players appear quite small from this distance (our seats) – the picture was taken at 40mm.

Canon EOS 5D MkII – EF 17-40mm – 1/250s f/6.3, ISO 400 – Picture taken end of afternoon, during Murray’s match. The picture is an HDR, merged of three exposures appears a bit unnatural even so good details are kept in the sky (taken facing the sun). The moving TV video camera on the top left is adding perspective to the shot.
