Tonight I went with hubby to their League Badminton game against Edgemead. I tried out new settings but still need some practice. Taking action photo’s with an ISO of 2000 and 3200 is not easy. Next time I think I must take along my mono-pod for some support. Not only do one get allot of blur’s the photo’s are grainy and the lighting on the court is not very nice. But I will get there one way or the other. All I need to do is practice at some different setting.

Here are two shots I picked for tonight. As soon as I go through all 312 photo’s I believe I will get some photo’s that will have the seal of my approval but till then I am not going to beat myself up. I am still learning Action photography  at a high ISO and I know in due course I will master it…

The glare on the court drove me crazy… ISO 2000  F4 (Aperture Priority)
Badminton Action. Black & White. ISO 3200, F3 (Aperture Priority)
Badminton Action. ISO 3200 F3 (Aperture Priority)

Today was Ronald’s first Badminton league game. He only started Badminton a few months ago. The boys and I went with him for some support.

LOL I of course just could not leave my “boyfriend” at home he had to pickle along so that I can practice taking action photo’s without a flash on a high ISO.

I must say I had my laughs for the evening and especially when the ladies played. As I looked over the different  courts I just could not help to notice on the one side was all the younger players and on the other side all the Elderly players.  I just started laughing and Ronald just could not get it out of me every time that I want to tell him the younger players are getting  beaten by the Elderly players I just burst out laughing. I must say some of the Elderly players were in much better shape than the younger ones… Shocking I know.

I am also thinking of  playing badminton, but just to get fit.
