Yalin 10-Ball

Cool, Cold-Hearted 
 Pool Portraits 
[and then some] 
 - ALL the images in this post were taken last August of 2012 -

Last August of 2012, I  visited the Robinson's Galleria to witness the Yalin 10-Ball Womens' World Pool Championships. {'Twas brought to Manila by Dragon Promotions} Definitely, another learning experience for me.  Did the usual legit action shots, and of course, played the thief, again, stealing close-up shots of the participants - hoping to make "artistic sense" of it all - meaning, getting good, REAL portraits. [and released them in several blog entries]

with a Cold-Blooded, Cold-Hearted Look - Love It !!!

 How close was I {or did I succeed} in getting the images I wanted ? Only I can answer that.  Suffice it to say - I was challenged. The pulse/rythm of pool is obviously extremely different from contact sports like basketball and football. Iba talaga ang diskarte sa pool. [The upside is, as far as stealing portraits are concerned is --> the pace gives one enough time to compose a shot / The downside is -->  the angles are very limited].  Well, Whatever.
