    Table Tennis - 2017 National Championships

    The first five were actual matches, so taken from behind the barriers. The last two were in the practice hall, so I just asked the players if they wouldn't mind me sat pretty much on the edge of the table for a couple of rallies and then move away to let them continue with their warm-up.

    Beginner What was your first 'WOW' picture?

    I'd been taking gig pictures on a compact camera with flash and really thought they were good (They weren't). Then I bought a Canon 350D but only had a 50mm prime for low light work, so it wasn't until I was front row at an intimate gig that I was able to capture this. The performer was my...
