The first pict is good! But if it was perhaps 0.25s or so slower, it would have been perfect with the shuttle in view. Good try indeed! To answer your question, yes, the 50mm would have been better. In fact, I find a 85mm to be almost the best as it will give you a little room to step back further. (but if the courts are small, then it becomes a problem). I find sports with a little bit of distance is always a lot easier to take. Easier to anticipate the shuttle from about 7-8m than any closer. Maybe should go take snap shots of my friends the next time! I'm inspired! ;-)
Tks for your comments. I'll get that shuttle in view next time..need more practice 50mm/85 on my buy list..haha.
Thanks and yes(tiles) whampoa cc and yes you have played with them before hmmm 85/1.8 maybe a bit long. Maybe i'll rent 50/1.4 and try it out, I think i need F1.4 for these local gyms. Tks for the comments and suggestions.
Yes, it's the Whampoa CC hall. Until 2006, I used to play there twice a week They have properly-positioned ceiling lights but these vapour lamps are too dim to provide a sufficient level of lighting for badminton. Instead of moving up to stronger lamps, they added tubelights on the sidewalls... and, foolishly enough, these lights are fixed at normal hitting height Although the surface is tiled, they are anti-skid... and quite alright. That is Hong, a very good player
I don't doubt that, but here's what I mean: http://blogs.abc.net.au/photos/tennis_australian_open/ferrer_forehand.jpg
Sometime pro also did that About Tiles. Must try one day. I think it is more expensive to build one with tiles than those with cements. Maybe maintenance wise it is cheaper in a long run.
