THIS photo was taken during the Badminton Asia Team Championships (BATC) in Shah Alam recently.

It was a highly energetic game and I used slow movement capture to catch Lee Zii Jia's quick intensity across the court.

Using slow speed is not typically done when capturing sports photography but the effects of blurred lines convey both a velocity and a suspension of that moment in time. – The Vibes, February 27, 2022
