The perfect plunge (SUKMA XII 2008, Terengganu)

View LARGE On Black

To be able to catch this with a D50 (knowing it's terribly near impossible shutter lag) is a 1/100 chance, gosh that's what I call a lucky shot.

 

Terengganu were not only gracious and accommodating hosts but proved to have excellent athletes, who amassed a total of 61 golds, 39 silvers and 47 bronze medals. That was enough to lead them to the overall title for the very first time in the history of SUKMA. Certainly, it will go down as one of their greatest ever sporting achievements.
