Awesome shots. 1st and last are my favorites. I'd call the 1st one a "confirmed kill".

nice pics I like 1 & 2

Awesome pics, but you're obviously inside the netting, so, I assume you're wearing a mask? If so how in the world do you look through the viewfinder and manage to see anything while wearing a mask???

Great photos!!
Yes centering a photo in the view finder is very challenging; I use this focusing screen to help

Thank you guys. Yes im inside the nest and wearing a mask.
I can use my center AF point to quesstemate how my framing looks. I also can change the position of my eye in the viewfinder to see one side of the frame more then another. It takes a bit of practice but im getting better.
Again thank you for the kind words.

Are you going to be at the PSP LA Open or the NPPL HB?
I am looking for photographers for this event..pm me if you are interested

WOW! You have some great shots here. I'd love to see more of your work. Have a cousin who lives and breathes paintball, and i know he would appreciate some cool shots. I'll try to look at your flickr site and check out the rest of them! Sweet work!

Saw these on PBnation, they look great. good work! Hope to see you guys @ LA(hopefully shooting with shanerice.com but if not ill be there anyway)

thank you very much ilovemycamera, i apprciate that.

303, Yes hope to see you their

Do you take precautions to protect your Camera? I cant see a paintball destroying one, could wreck an lcd (how it whould hit the back I dunno) but paint gets in all kinds of places when I play.

most people just use a quality UV and hope for the best, some people do the plastic baggy over the body routine also but i have never really needed it*yet*

We should have a POTN PSP meet haha.

Right on.I have been wanting to go to local field and photograph but have been leary of stray balls,or some kids whould just shoot me for the fun of it(if I were a Kid I would have).

Thats why its always better to shoot tourny players :P
its a big plus if youve played paintball at one time or another. Because you can judge what will happen at a certain moment, and position yourself properly.

Nice Job on the photos btw I am really looking forward to learning more about sports photography and posting my own pics one day.
