Badminton, baby!

badminton event photographySpring is here and in Sausalito it seems like the weather is always gorgeous and one spot we’ve been to quite a bit of late is Cavallo Point.  It’s a great spot and has facilities for events as well, so it’s a pretty popular spot over the Bridge.  What better background is there to play badminton, too, with the arches of the Golden Gate Bridge visible in the background?  Shooting action sports in bright sunlight can be tough, but I brought along polarizing filters to bring out the sky more (which I didn’t end up using) and of course used fill flash to fill in the shadows.
