Now I am not certain of this. I have not really looked around to observe this. This is an interesting venue because when concerts are held here, we are allowed to take photos.. Does the same apply for this competition? I don't know.
It seems the spectator's stands are further from the courts at the Hong Kong Stadium than previous years' QE Stadium!
The one reason I can think of for the ban is, in venues where photo-taking is allowed, there is always bound to be indiscrimate use of flashes.
Not only did they upgrade the stadium, but also the hotel. It was the same too for Macau last year, when both the accomodation and venue were shifted to the Venetian. A lot more expensive to stay. It shows that we are emerging from the shadows of 2008.
. Perhaps our BCers should take a read of this thread; http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/36995-the-concept-of-a-badminton-photo. .
I once attended a colour consultation seminar which tells you what colours suit you the most. Interestingly, men look good ( or their best ) in pink, regardless of skin tone. If you want to look older than your age , wear purple. For what you pay for an excellent colour image consultation, you will save a lot of money and time on your wardrobe and create a better image.
I was actually referring solely to sports attires. Otherwise, it would seem to me a little gaudy for men to wear, especially hot pink. Here are more examples of this nice colour:
When the live stream pan over the spectators stands, I see people with both p&s and slr cameras taking photos!
