winston, thanks for sharing the pics....wow, considering you sat somewhere in the stands, those pics are quite sharp, even after you reduced the size of it...

Off topic:BTW, mind telling us what lens(es) you used to take those pics?? And if you have other pics, would you mind sharing those also??thx

I was using the Canon EF70-200mm F2.8L IS USM. I must confessed that I enjoyed the games so much and I didn't really take many pictures. The seat that I had also gave me limited angle to take those pictures since it was behind all those big TV cameras.

Pic. 1 Hong Kong Cheerleaders for Hong Kong 2006 Open (they are actually dancers performed during intermission )
Pic. 2 Chinese Percussion during intermission while the audiences rushed off to the yonex souvenior store to buy some Hong Kong Open 2006 editon Yonex T-Shirt (the one that LD and LCW wore with the dragon on the side) and line up for LD, LCW, TG and CW autographs in the lobby.
Pic. 3 One more picture for the Wan Wah and Tan Fook's fans. The playing style of these dynamic duo is one of a kind.

Couple pictures of the Mixed double final. I am very impressed with Lilyana. A stylish and Courageous young player with very good attitude. Absolutely adorable!

winston, sir, thanks for the info...wow, considering your seat location and the camera lens you're using, i must admit, you really did a very good job. Even from that far off the distance, from looking at all your pics, they are "super" sharp, action or non-action ones. Too bad the lighting wasn't as desirable as you wanted...Good job, again!..
On that note, maybe for next yr's HK Open, you can join the BC Photography Fraternity in HK with Cheung and red00ecstrat..a triple-team task would be wonderful..

This should be interesting and I can learn from Red00ecstrat and Cheung since they took great pictures. I am still experiencing taking pictures in high speed with low light.

I could see Lin Dan trying to make amends by wearing a Chinese 'cap' during the prize giving ceremony! How come LCW is barren on his head?

Good pics winston. Isn't it hard to take pics and enjoy a match at the same time?

Hi Cheung, it is very difficult if not impossible! Especially with all the good and close matches that the result can go either way.
