Nothing is so special about this picture. The player is just holding a birdie in his hand, and hitting another birdie or just practicing some jumping shot..

Ahhh - no. This was during a game, and if you notice, his hand is open.
demolidor 03-17-2006, 04:02 PM Ahhh - no. This was during a game, and if you notice, his hand is open.
There is someone walking behind him :) No way this was during the match.

After looking at the original pic, and the next one in the series, the person walking behind is actually the service judge for that game, so you are quite correct. I withdraw everything I said and thank you for correcting me.

No problem, keeping everyone sharp ;) Too bad you couldn't get the same spot for the ozzie game as for the england game.
Trinidad & Tobago :eek: wow this is the 1st time ive heard of them actually playing badminton...being part Trinidadian i am happy to see this :p

did you go in general admission or do you have a press pass? what big lens were you using? i'm planning to bring my nikon d70 and 70-200mm lens but i'll just be in the 'A' seats.
the conditions of entry are pretty ambiguous. although it says lenses up to 200mm are allowed, it also says they can ban you for any reason they want. i had trouble with my lenses at the australian open tennis before and i don't want the same trouble this time.
Twodogs 03-17-2006, 06:33 PM Mini me - the guard at the gate told me that they'd allow up to a 300mm lens on GA tickets (which is what I had).
demolidor - It was a great pity, but the England-Trinidad & Tobago games were on court 1, and the Aus game was on court 2 - I was very lucky that adelina gave me a hand to get the best spot for the Aus-Kenya game, or I would've been up in the nosebleed seats.

Mini Me 03-18-2006, 05:41 AM Mini me - the guard at the gate told me that they'd allow up to a 300mm lens on GA tickets (which is what I had).
i guess what you can bring in depends on luck. the conditions of entry 21p) says that if they want, they can just say that i can't use my equipment. 27) says that 200mm is the maximum focal length, which is stupid because 70-200mm lenses are much higher quality than 70-300mm lenses. hopefully they won't stop me from using my 70-200 :cool:
Mini Me 03-20-2006, 08:15 AM here are some pics i took from the final between malaysia and england.
jcl49 03-20-2006, 08:26 AM Am I right in thinking that KKK switched from AT700 to Ti-10 (see last pic on post above).
tze yang 03-20-2006, 08:44 AM it looked more like at-700 to me during the match on tv

dpc1l 03-20-2006, 12:01 PM What shot was the lady in the 4th last photo playing? That's a good capture!!
It looks like a viscious round the head shot from her upper body, but her legs make it look like her opponent's deception caught her and she had to make some last minute alterations to her shot.
She's very agile!
Twodogs 03-20-2006, 01:32 PM Great pics - thanks for that.
cooler 03-20-2006, 03:58 PM assorted finals.

LOL! The shuttlecock was almost on his palm! Did he have vision problem or is it just some sort of silly mistake?
Btw, is that Wong Choong Han playing mixed doubles?
