Beer, Babes and Bikinis

[bircher]

Welcome to the 55th Annual World Championship Over-The-Line (OTL) Tournament 2008. A San Diego original, OTL is a form of beach softball, with 1,200 three-member teams competing in almost 2,400 games leading up to the final match.

With free flowing beer, outrageous team names and bikini clad women some may ask if this is a sporting event or one huge beach party. Well, it's a combination of both satisfying players and gawkers. In addition, it was a good use of my Canon "L" lenses -- if I'm going to photograph anything why not beautiful women?

Three things that make for a perfect weekend. The first shot is nice - good exposure, skin tones, some action, faces and sharp.

Excellent pics! As I proved today, it is not easy to get good action shots. Hopefully, someday I can get pics like these :)
