    My 100 Best Pictures of 2013

    WOW! Thanks for posting this pic :) Comments of fellow photographers are always welcome. Yes the D90 is a very good body. It is essentially a D300 in a slightly weaker body. I still own and use a D300 for a few shots because of the DX format's reach. The 200-400 is amazing because it's very...

    My 100 Best Pictures of 2013

    Thanks for your comment :) Well, I do use the term "picture" on purpose. I've started by drawing when I was a kid and worked my way to photography through digital graphics. I've never owned a film camera and never will. Half of my work is shooting the pics, the other half is editing. When I...

    My 100 Best Pictures of 2013

    Yes it is a Nikon, but not a D300. It's a D3s with a 24/70 2.8 on it. I've used this body since january 2010 and will soon retire it for the D4s. It seems to have improved enough from the D4 to be worth the switch.

    My 100 Best Pictures of 2013

    Indeed I do! Look out on the tournaments pages. You'll get hundreds of my pictures! This year's Mosconi Cup for instance: http://www.azbilliards.com/tours_and_events/138-mosconi-cup/4885-partypoker-mosconi-cup-xx/photos/ As I said, we'll be working on a proper "Photos" section in the...

    My 100 Best Pictures of 2013

    Hi everyone, and first of all Happy new year! I've setup a facebook page to show some of my pictures. I've never really liked the concept of having to "friend" people to show them my art. So now, everybody's happy, you just can "like" my page to see my pictures and updates...

    January Gold Mine Set to Pay Off

    Sometimes we have to manually edit your display status, but when you see the Gold icon it means you are Gold, even if the Silver also shows. I just fixed it for you, you should be seeing only Gold now. Good luck!

    Best of Mosconi Cup: a 50 minutes documentary

    It's featured on our home page. This is from 2011 and is a recap of years 1994 to 2010 included. The screen ratio is 4:3 all the way, so the latest years look a bit odd but it is the best documentary you'll ever see on the cup. And as far as I'm concerned, the early years footage is what is...

    Mosconi Cup schedule

    They switched last year. And it was a success for the producer, Sky Sports. Which is the main target, hence the timing in the US. So it will start at 11am which is 7pm (or 19:00 for us Europeans) in the UK and 8pm in central Europe.

    Mosconi Cup schedule

    It's always been a base of race to 6, arranged to race to 5 when things were getting slow. I believe last year was the only one that featured race to 5 all the way. In 2011 it was race to 6 all the way :grin: I believe it is a race to 6 this year, but as usual if things get slow somehow with...

    GET the New Predator Cues before they're released... December Giveaways!!!

    Yes, with the exception of the ones who have already won a 1st prize recently. You don't win the lottery twice :)

    Mosconi Cup schedule

    There is a four to five hours air time. Matches are race to 6 only, so they're pretty quick. The usual schedule is 11 to 4pm, sometimes it overruns to 4:30 or 5pm, never more. The Mirage is located right in the center of the strip so you'll be able to be anywhere by 6 for sure.

    Mosconi Tickets

    Earl is one of the reason some media outside of the sport get any interest in it... So what's the solution then? :) FYI, the media coverage outside of the regular channels is being taken care of. Let's see what the future brings...

    Article by Badi Nazhat

    Seeding based on which ranking? None of them have enough events to qualify as rankings. The best way to get something together that can please the sponsors in the long run is, indeed, to create icons/heroes. That can be achieved by having the same players over and over on TV, that's how it has...

    Bowling/Measles Ball Concept

    I read about this a couple of weeks ago. I think it's just like the TV ball sets for pool, or the hawk-eye for tennis, something to get more info to the viewer. I don't think it has anything to do with a loss of interest, but rather it's to stay competitive. I believe the first time it's been...
