Nice shots ! Hi. This is Haru, Japanese. I found you got nice photos of Japanese players' smile in US Open. Was wondering if you allow me to put some of them on my website, BadPaL 〈http://badpal.wordpress.com/〉 with your name If you can give me your permission to use, please advice Thank you Anyway, those are really nice shots, especially Sho Sasaki and Sayaka Sato's smiles after match !
and last but not least.... the BC video and photo team that brought you all these wonderful video & photos this whole week. thanks guys for your dedication and hardwork!!!!!
..for this yr, we used 1D bodies (Mk2 and Mk3) and a couple of D200 bodies; been using the Mk2 from 2009. That's why there are some "classic" looking results.. I only shot the first couple of days..the rest of the pics onward were shot by the other guys in the pic (post #69)..So, there will be more photos coming from one of the D200 (mostly from partial Day 1 and Day 2 and Day 3)!!... Lighting is not the best but this is the best we've got. For ISO, definitely 3200 is the minimum, even with lenses below 2.0.. *Btw, i also like kwun's wide angle shots of Sayaka Sato; one of which looks like she's about to kick the lens..
Day 5 (Semifinals) pics - continue.. Day 5 Misc. pics.. Crowd at start of the Semifinals.. The scene just before start of the last match of the day, WD match between JPN vs. KOR Someone brought in a clapper.. Broadcast booth.. TV crew.. Players area.. Marc Zwiebler's taped up right leg.. Mobile tv crew.. Tony getting a message on his right hand, arm, shoulder.. Okay, more JPN players for all the BC's JPN players supporters..(yes, these are special request for suetyan).. JPN team meeting after end of the WD match.. Those 4 were watching the WD match between JPN vs. KOR in the Semifinals Rd. (check out Eriko's glare while N. Hirata looking stoic) That's BC's kakinami, the leader of the "Nippon!" chants.. That's the KOR supporters side..
Thank you all.. ..once again i echo kwun's appreciation esp. for: 1. OCBC and the U.S. Open organizer for allowing badmintoncentral.com, once again, to be a part of the documentation crew for this event.. 2. The hardworking Kenric (video recording, in checker's shirt), Daylightkiller (photos, standing center) and Bubbles (photos, standing far right)..those guys are the ones deserving of the THANK YOU!.. and last, this is for kwun..I hope you had an enjoyable time the last few days!:
