Hi! Thks for sharing. Was there last sat to try and do some snaps but hesitated cos 3 courts were in play and there were like not much space to snap and will be too obvious to do so. Moreover i find the lights a little dim for my liking. Seems like you have done a good job with the WB ! Are you one of their OP ?

Hi dev2k8, its acutally quite okay as that is how badminton is photographed, even at the highest level. As long you are behind the A-board and limit your movement when play is going on you should be fine. These type of lower-level competitions are actually quite good as it offers photographers easy access to good courtside positions, so try to minimise your presence and don't be hesitant to shoot!
