Lots of youngsters interested in it, it appears. That's good.Last 2 years I shot a few thousend badminton pictures.

Equipment: Pentax K5, Sigma 17-50 2.8 and Tamron 70-200 2.8
I remember that about 8 years ago I was some silly teenager and I was posting on this forum somewhere, saying "I think that the more background blur the better" and someone else bashed me for that comment. Can't seem to find it anymore.
Gave badminton photography a today for fun, at the SKYCITY New Zealand Open 2015 with a bit of a "documentary" style take on it.
We need to see the most photogenic of them all... Gronya Somerville...
But having blurred background is nice... just a product of having the aperture wide open and the zoom maxed out...
Jhirata, what settings are you using? How good is the light?
And are these the only photos you are going to give us?![]()
Cheung, the light is pretty good, I'm shooting at 1/1000 (Doesn't give me purple flickering stuff), ISO1000, f/1.8, 85mm (on D700 full frame).
Anita is the master of expression.
It is always more fun to shoot emotional players, and at the winning moment, even the most deadpan face player, would sometimes show some release of emotion!
