Paintball Photography Miami NPPL

Greetings fellow Sport Canonians,
Here are some photos from the Miami NPPL Commanders Cup last weekend.

Those are awesome. What did you have your shutter speed set at to get the balls in mid air like that?

Looks like you have great reflexes!

I usually shoot 1/800 or 1/1000 of a second. I find that the 1/800 seems to produce the best results. I have tried faster shutter speeds and I can actually freeze the paintball in mid air but it looks fake because the image of the ball is not blurred

No, I do not have fast reflexes but I do have many memory cards…at this three-day event I shot over 10,000 images. I find if you shoot this many pictures you are bound to get a few keepers

Man i wish i could of went.But i`ve decided to quit Paintball as i think Photography is more important.Man i wish i could shoot at NPPL events, That would be sweet.Your pretty lucky.And nice pictures.

Never heard that one

To quote Josef Stalin “there is a certain quality to quantity”
Yes, I defiantly use the “shotgun method”…since I was sent by one of the magazines if I came back empty handed there would be no more work for me so I am not taking any chances...
If you take this many pictures even a dolt like me is bound to get that money shot

Hello,
How was it?
Are you going to the roit3 thing?

The Tigers learned that!
I understand & would do the same thing, but man, I'd hate to have to edit all those. The saying goes something like, "Even a blind pig will sometimes find an acorn".
