    This is my first time photographing a sports event and first time photographing badminton, so I was doing testing and trials before the mens singles on Wednesday to figure out good angles and AF reliability. Here are some samples.

    That's your first time photographing badminton and doing trials and test?!!!!!!!! You've got to be kidding me.

    That's pro-level shots there ... lively shots, emotions of subjects, clear WOW! Looking forward to more, as Kwun said! :D

    Nice shots! You must have brought big lenses to the venue. :)

    Hi there,
    great shots! You must be shooting with a really bright telephoto to freeze the action like that from the gallery. I'm guessing 70-200/2.8 or 300mm prime? Are there any restrictions on cameras/lenses you can bring into the stadium?

    Cheers
