This was a Men's Doubles tournament in Williston on 14 August 2021.

I shot almost 1,000 pictures, because I was playing with high speed burst mode.

When evaluating my photographs, I look for
- technical quality: focus, exposure, cropping
- is the ball in the picture?
- even better, is the ball resting on the player's arms or hands?
- is the picture dramatic (two players jousting, the player is diving)?
- can you see the player's face (no tape or arms across the face)?
- is the skill being executed well, or perhaps unusually?
- is the pose or lighting inherently interesting or artistic?
- are the player's expression, clothing, hair, or sunglasses compelling?

I try to photograph everyone, but between my schedule and the schedule of the players, I sometimes miss people. I'm sorry if that happened.

I started the day wanting to get defensive shots. After Michala made a few nice digs, I focused [sic] on her quite a bit.

I shot bursts of shots, and while this is fun, it also left me with 2 or 3 times more pictures to wade through than in the past. There are links, below, to a page with just the best stills, along with another link that only contains the animated GIFs that I made out of the bursts.

Rather than categorizing the pictures, this time I dumped them all out in chronological order. You will have to hunt for the really good ones!
