    He's really enjoying himself since he knows this is his last competition. :D. Notice how red Pedersen's face is looking at that thing. :p

    Yes, actually viewed the photo much earlier, but didn't notice the obvious 'protruberance' until I saw you guys getting all excited about it [​IMG].

    Well, there is always the blue pill for the lesser mortals.
    I heard they're even doing balloon angionplasties down there. Can you believe it? [​IMG]

    Well, I've been watching BBC's live stream on both courts and have seen quite a lot of people within the audience snapping with DSLRs. No flashes were seen though. But defo seen DSLRs taken out and shoot photos.

    Nope. They were all basic lens. The long ones are only used by the media guys..

    30 cm is pretty long (even by Gade standards ;):D)

    I think most of the DSLR camera wielding public would be safe.

    My DSLR has no flash - it's very retro in that respect.
