Default Squash

This is what I like to do for exercise, and although I'm both age and weight challenged these days I can still get around the court and show some of these young ones a thing or two. Actually I've been trying to find a way to take decent photos of the sport but not having a great deal of luck, so my brave husband volunteered to sit at the front and take the photos. Brave or silly I'm not to sure but I like the angle of the shots, now I just have to get the exposure right and I should be able to take some decent photos. I think I might try body armour when I sit down the front.

Cool perspective, Michele!! I feel I need to duck or get pelted with a ball! Those courts have some serious potential. Great lines in the wall, and the wood on the floor. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Michele - these are awesome. I really love the last shot. It makes me feel like I am there and that I am actually part of the game. TFS.

Yes, cool perspective (thanks to a brave hubby!!) - the lines really do add effect to the speed of the game. Great action shots.

Thanks equilution, that is part of reaction I am after, duck (because that little black ball does hurt) I think my nexr step is to sit in the front myself .

Great shots, love the perspective. You really do expect the ball to come at you any minute ! Love all the lines too. Your husband did a great job. I have the same challenges, age & weight, looks like great exercise and fun too.

Never seen squash from this angle before.
Even though it is similar to the view I get after running into the wall.
Great shots Michelle thanks for sharing.
Bet Hubby doesn't get down the front after you and him have had a blue.
