Is that you on the right?

Hi Ctjad, yep with 30D. Thanks for suggestion, will try to take more on the face.
By the way, I notice when trying to take photo from the opposite court (to take face) the net almost always cover the face If I go low, the fence blocking the view and if I go high place the net blocking the face
I don't have any pass so I only can take photo from the place where I'm sitting.

I miss getting some of that height and shooting across the net. It's not an easy shot given the lighting in the hall When you're on the same level as the players you have to watch out for the net tape being close to the eye level of the players If you find the net to be a problem for focusing, then I would suggest (like many of the wise other photographers on this forum before me) that you aim at their feet

The photos I like to take the most are of the player expressions. It's particularly nicer on the ones that really show emotion on the court.

Aahh..

Is that you on the right?

..so that's a.kurniawan...
Now, where is noluckjim's and eek! oh!'s picture??..

[ae86trueno]

Yes, but you captured it! Take some credit!

actually that is what I did, and I learn to focus on their feet from you. you gave me quite a number of tips and for some reason.. focusing on feet tips always echoing in my head everytime I try take baddy photos.

Yep I want to be able to take their expression as well.. but sometimes its hard to take photos and enjoying the game at same time

 

[ae86trueno]

..so that's a.kurniawan...
Now, where is noluckjim's and eek! oh!'s picture??..

I think this one (on the right side)... sorry got no better photo.

 

[a.kurniawan]

so finally it's time to reveal each other's identity eh??

just a suggestion, maybe us auckland BCers should gather up at the upcoming GP event this coming july..

 

[noluckjim]

Yeah... I'll get a haircut before then I've been lazy haha.

 

[eek!oh!]

Thank you my friend I just realised you are from Auckland too.

Used to be - guess I should edit my profile.

& no photo of me cause I didn't get to the tournament. I don't think I'll get to the GP but you never know. I'll introduce myself if I do.

& where is our other photographer, Adelina?

You know, it is nice to hear INA badminton got quite a number of fans in NZ too... INA badminton need all the support we can get... Times are not so bright for us right now. We hope some of the Auckland winners will fill in their senior's shoes in a few years...

 

[phaarix]

And then the same INA players or players with skill levels like them can be wiped off by under-19 Chinese players who have never been heard outside their province... ...and by that 14 year old WS from Thailand, Inthanon, the 2009 Vietnam Challenge champion...

Yeah exactly, it's crazy, it really puts things in perspective!
