Nothing wrong with any of these. Really solid table tennis shots.

Keep your eye on the ball. Keep your eye on the ball. Keep your eye on the ball.
But, I'm getting cross eye'd too!

Table tennis is a difficult sport to shoot IMHO. These are good with #1 being the strongest image. I want to see hands in 2 and 3. I'd like to see more pics of the action.

Here are 3 from my attempt to shoot this great sport.

I really think this should become a meme.

You're really getting some nice pictures. I might keep trying the vertical shots, that might get more of the athlete and less of the scorers' table, depends though on your vantage point. Looks like you're having fun.

Except for the pesky fact that there's no table.

These are fine photos, but they're becoming redundant. Let's see some wider shots; shots with both competitors and the table...

Just checked the EXIF data. I'm so jealous of your well-lit venue. Crisp clean images. : )

Yep. You can turn that camera 90° so the long side is vertical. That works well for taller than wide subjects, like people.

How about these 3 I took today?

The bottom one is the best of the three...

I, myself, thought the 2nd one has more contrast and content.

It also has a great big white orb in the middle of the picture. That kills it for me.

The content is virtually identical...

Wow, what focus and concentration. Great photos.
