Rather lucky to get LYD and JJS kneeling down just after they got the last point. I think I was the only person to get shot from that angle with both their faces visible. You can see LYD's racquet is still dropping, and the shuttle has bounced up after landing out.

There is a delay from pressing the shutter to taking of the photo. It was really bad the 2nd day I was there and also inconsistent i.e. sometimes it is there, sometimes it is bad. Even occurred outdoors when the lighting was good,

isn't that you talking to Taufik's wife, Tezta?
Yep that was after his first game i think?
..aaahh, no wonder he looks somewhat familiar....;)
KWUN. COME NEXT YEAR:eek:
..you forgot to add "and bring your weapons"...;):cool:

Btw, Cheung, were you really looking up & pointing your camera/lens @ Thomas Laybourn when you took his pic??..were you sitting down or lying flat on your tummy or in a different pose??..:confused:

that's the common problem of 10,20,30D! that means the life of the electronic shutter release is almost over.
i m glad to know kwun will be here next year and we should hold a gathering once again. ah........one more thing! east asian games will be held in hk next year too. therefore, you will be able to have more chance to take badminton photos in 09.:D

This is the first ever Hong Kong Open Title for Hong Kong. No wonder the government official (in the middle with dark blazer) are so excited :) Can you find Chung and Achan among the photographers / Press :confused:

on thursday my friend and i saw them both come up the escalators. he asked for a photo and ZJW was reluctant at first... wonder why?

Look. I got a scoop!!! Ever seen them together?
...
ZJW must be saying : Do you see that guy over there, with his camera pointing at us??..*starts to move away from CTF*
CTF : Uh huh, yeah, i see him alright. Does he think we can't see them from far away??..
*click, Cheung presses the shutter*
:)
Lena, right? :)

expert? Nobody is an "expert".:D
..Lena?? i guess so, if you say so...you're the "expert", correct??..:);)

Btw, if a player were to pass out on the court, don't tell me you would stay there and keep taking pics, would you??...:p ;)

The check went to Wai Yan Association which is a non-profit charity organization. The members of Wai Yan Association are all ex-Miss Hong Kong includes this lady in the picture who was Miss Hong Kong and also a TV celebrity. The money of this check came from an auction for "Playing double in the stadium of Hong Kong Super Series and Partner with Zhang Ning for 5 mintures". The gentlemen in red paid close to U.S.40,000 for this honor..:) The guy in green is a famous director and comedian in Hong Kong, his partner is also an ex-Miss Hong Kong and TV artist.
oh... that guy in red shirt is so so so lucky that he get to play beside zhang ning... oh, i'm so jealous :mad:

oh... that guy in red shirt is so so so lucky that he get to play beside zhang ning... oh, i'm so jealous :mad:Lucky??
Would you pay that sort of money? If so, you can be 'lucky' as well!!!:D

I do have some more photos around. Not at home now so you guys will have to wait.

Btw, if a player were to pass out on the court, don't tell me you would stay there and keep taking pics, would you??... They do have an onsite medical team available specifically for that sort of stuff (if it were to happen). If they looked out of their depth, perhaps I would be too!!!:)

haha.. if i hav that amount of money, i pay just to stand beside her... i wud fly if i get to play with zhang ning... hehehe... well, i'm just day dreaming here!!!

That is Kaori Imabeppu. She had a very tough match against Petya Nedelcheva in the second round. She looks really sweet! :]

Lovely pictures there, Cheung & AChan. Thanks!! ;)

I think Kwun's compliment is true as I thought he had taken our equipment into account, hadn't he? I am sure the pictures would be much better if we use a faster camera. Waiting for the upgraded version of MKIII for East Asian Games next year.:D:D:p;)

I can confirm u-niCe and say it is Kaori. But I doubt it's going to get you a satay dinner.:p
what about wasabi curry fish for dinner?:D:D:D
