Australian Open 2010

[dharmit]

Hi,

We are going to australian open 2010 tomorrow for Quarter Finals.

I am planning to take following gear

• Sigma 10-20 f3.5
• Canon EFS 55-250 IS

Do I need to take anything else except the obvious?

• Water
• Cap
• Sun scream

Much appreciate the help

Well, we were there and had lots of fun. Its a different feeling when you watch tennis on TV and when you watch it in real life (Price of tickets to Australian Open 2010 $120 per ticket, Seeing the match and your favorite players in real life, PRICELESS)

I will be posting photos from the match soon.

Cheers

Looking forward to seeing what you came up with!

I was wondering whether photography is allowed at the Aus Open. Or did you get one of those photographer ground pass?

I would suggest a long fast telephoto lens so you can get some pictures of your favorite players. Like the 300 F2.8. I don't know what the conditions will be like, but that is what I would consider for a lot of sporting events.

Sigma 10-20 was the way to go forward.

Sime, what is the difference between ACT and LAW? Sorry, but I am really not able to understand the difference between them.

The act is what parliament does to create a law. (passing a bill)

Thanks Richard,

Does this mean that it is not legally binding but is in the process of getting it legal?

The website that you pointed out didnot have that definition. I also checked their FAQ

Cheers
