On last week, I am lucky to watch a badminton competition in HK. This competition attract many great badminton players to HK such as Lin Dan (Beijing Olympic Winner).
As for the photography, the lighting condition is okay. (e.g. using ISO1600, aperture f2.8 and can have 1/400 sec shutter speed). This is first time for me to take the badminton sports. I mainly use the prime lenses - 50mm, 85mm, 135mm & 200mm. Try to have a higher shutter speed and keep the subject more outstanding from the background with a larger aperture. Since the ground is green color, it may make the color of players' face become a bit green - a challenge on white balance setting.
The players are moving fast (left/right or up/down) and it is quite difficult to capture the right moment.
Hope you like this photo series and please kindly give me your comment. Thanks : )

Malaysia men double is working hard and perform well in the final match. Just without luck and lose to Korea team. Hope Malaysian team can do it better in next round.
