Malaysia Open 08 Photos

[X Ball]

A supreme LCW today.:D

[abedeng]

Nope, a die-hard fan. He was everywhere as long as i remembered. Next time I meet him, I'll asked how's he get funded :D:p:D

Now? Funded by Govt, with a supporter team. But with funding comes added responsibilities, sometimes he and his team gets send to non-badminton competitions too. Told him he should forget going to Malaysia football matches, not worth it, surely will lose ....... Last year they went to S'pore Open, even Asian Games if I am not mistaken.

The man previously started out on his own, about 20-odd years ago. I first met him at the 1988 Thomas Cup at Stadium Negara. We sat together and shouted "Sungkit! Sungkit!" everytime Cheah Soon Kit was about to unleash his trademark jumping smash. Worked wonders too, Cheah and Ong Beng Teong defeated Liem Swie King and Bobby Ertanto in 3 games for Malaysia to progress to their first Thomas Cup final in 12 years.

He still looks exactly the same as he was 20 years ago. Must be some magical aura from supporting players all these years ...... :D

You should join him too.. i'm sure you will look as young 20yrs from now.

[lurker]

a flamboyant and loud chap he is...
not much ppl can get away with wearing the national flag as a shirt/costume

[abedeng]

You should join him too.. i'm sure you will look as young 20yrs from now.

You wish ........ in between my onsite commentating duties, I was too busy stalking you, Hauge and Fastdrop, where can I find time to do cheerleading work? :p It just so happened that you and Terry spotted me last night, need to do more training to blend with the background.

Was actually hoping to see Hauge run away again when Paaske/Rasmussen got too close, he was looking up the sky and thinking about it, I know ...... :D

[ants]

You were sitting in front.. not that hard to spot actually.

[abedeng]

You were sitting in front.. not that hard to spot actually.

Still, it took you 4 days. I was there since qualifying rounds.

BTW how's Hauge, feeling better already?

That sir, is not a nice thing to say - especially not to two lovely ladies!

Eriko is graceful as always.

You mean, "bouncy graceful", right? Loved her dropshots, WMC was caught many times. Reminds me of the good old days of Susi Susanti .........

[X Ball]

First time I have seen the Indonesian cheerleader -- he had a smaller horn than the Malaysian cheerleader. :D

[lurker]

it's not the size of the horn that matters.. it's the amount of noise you can make! and that particular malaysian makes hell lot of noise! :D

[fishyjojo]

breathtaking photo, lurker! the blur of the background and the crystal clear image of the birdie takes the emphasis away from the lass (um, who is she?), while not fully taking it away from her (whatever! :P).

Is all by design, flash memory is sponsored by Yonex :D Great Job in capturing the Yonex logo while in play, man, talk about the degree of difficulty ... I give this a 10!

Winners and runners-up of Malaysia Open 2008

From getty images,

-1st photo showed truly pleasant moment between Winner and Runner-Up where both LCW and Hyun Il were smile on the podium...
-4th photo described great sportmanship and friendship gesture when Lars Paaske touch Markis Kido's head.

What kind of souvenir that all finalists got? Looks like classic framed picture which reflected Petronas Twin Towers image??

Thx to pix contributors here!

..i don't think it's Jonas' though..most likely it's Lars', but sure looks like Lars has quite a long arm to reach around and pat Markis' head..:p
And check out Markis' expression and smile, seems like he's enjoying the pat on the head...:rolleyes: :p;)

2) Why Rexy resign ???
3) I'll get you one more prettier than CTF one.
4) Malaysia boleh !!! :D:D:D

That's very good. :D

[Dreamzz]

he looks so happy, i'm very pleased for him.
to be fair though, he has quite a easy route to victory, chen yu was the only seeded player he encountered.
still, he delivered when it counts the most, and that's what matters at the end of the day.

Hi, George, just wondering how much the MO 08 final ticket cost you? Good pictures, some of which you took and others you got from different places. I assume the ones with time stamps were taken by you, but the date was showing 12/10/2007 (not set correctly?). Did you take any photos in a close range? :)

RM 23 is $6.98, not very expensive. Wish more ppl would go. Of course one has to look at the relative cost to other things.

No Pic of Kido and Hendra.....


Improve the composition but suffer the quality. Hope you like these photos. Taken from stand in court #3. Not many photos were taken for this pair in court #1 Round 2.

*Great, thank/blame me for suggesting this idea of kwun going up the rafters to take pictures from overhead...:o :(:p
..kwun only re-iterated that "MO is definitely on his list of tourney to visit"..I don't think that's a promise that he'll go there in the near future/next yr...............Or, is that a confirmation that you're going there next yr, kwun??..:confused: :p;)

LCW : daddy, daddy, i've won this time.
Misbun : you did good boy, you did good (with tears glistening in his eyes)

LCW look so "manja" with misbun. :D

Change a bit Azabar, Hasbullah Awang said LCw stimes call Misbun 'abang' (older bro) stimes coach, "sungguh itim hubungan mereka." Want to laugh.
The Japan Open win was a more interesting picture.

LCW: Coach, we broke the jinx of Stadium Putra.
Misbun : Yup, we did, we did.

sheer strenght
imagine dangling a 1d+300 2.8 90 degrees down ~10 stories high for up to 30 minsI couldn't imagine...that's why I ask. :)

[ants]

Use your hands to hold the camera and the camera strap on your neck all the times. Furthermore its not fun to take picture up there as the temperature is very high due to the Lights. You can sweat even more than a player by just standing up there for 5mins. I had a number of shots from up there. But lazy to post it in the forum.

[Cheung]

Let me guess, none of you wear spectacles, otherwise you will not be taking those shots.

I dont wear glasses. Still have perfect eyesight. But there is many photogs that wear glasses while they were taking picture up there.

I'm surprised. Or they tie a string to stop the spectacles falling off.

[azabaz_ipoh]

i wonder what will happen if something fell onto the court while they are taking those pictures. hahahahah. surely the players will get spooked. imagine a pair of glasses falling and incidentally smashed because it fell at the same rate of the shuttle. woh!!! :D

[cooler]

nah... wire photogs in action

[Sealman]

lurker, may i know what lens are these? 300mm? thanks.

[Cheung]

The two on the side look like 300mm. The right hand one looks a bit smaller so that could be the f4 version. The middle one is the 70-200mm 2.8. There might be a teleconvertor on it. I think lurker has deliberately darkened the picture so we can't see.:)

[ants]

They dont use converter or extender. Just crop the photo.

[eastma]

no! he's not... hehehe.... he is He HanBin....

both the sides are using a 300mm 2.8, the middle one is 70-200

a TC is not much help, slow downs the AF and also the effective aperture, plus lower IQ.
I have not seen anyone dared to hold a 400mm 2.8 that way! :D

badminton halls seriously test the high end gears to the max!

[lurker]

apologies in advance for the OT! hahaha!

[chehsi]

Lurker, just wondering. This is actually officially allowed at the venue? Just thinking that what if it'll distract the players .. or if something just drop from the top? Looks dangerous to me.
