Hello everyone,
We had a great time at HB this year. I was there all of three days, friday through sunday. An hour drive both ways, but very worth it.

My name is Bryce Piper, but check out some other gallerys if youd like aswell.

Great shots. Do you use a filter on your f4 L when shooting paintball? I plan on covering some teams around here with the same lens.

Thanks you.
Yes i use an uncoated UV filter and a hood on the lens when on the field.
I havnt taken a dead on hit to the filter and front element yet, but its happened many times in the past and a UV filter is definetly needed. I use uncoated because the coated ones tend to get stained by paint.

I still wished they played on the sand.

I've been in and out of paintball so much, I'm hopefully getting back into it this summer :).

rgaya- i dont think paintball photos always have to be by the book, it shows chaos and confusion. Or mabes thats just the way i look at it.

dsky- the sand sucked a couple years ago, i played in it. sand in guns, gear, shoes, eye. ugh dont remind me.

Thanks you all for the comments, i hope your checking out the website ;)

I like #5 and #6. I wonder what they are saying to themselfs! Great shots. Makes me itch bad for them to come to Chicago. All i can comment on is if the gunner in #3 was as clear and bright as the bunker it would be perfect. But hey paintball is fast so i give these 9.9's See you in Bolingbrook.

Yea, I've heard some horror stories about the sand, I just thought it was totally unqiue, to the other events. Except for Aruba, they still play on the sand there?

I'm ordering my Shocker NXT today, should be goooood.

Seems like the choice is between sand or 2 feet of mud.;)

#5 and #6. Just, WOW.

Great timing on #5. I'm sure he was ticked to find out his pods betrayed him.

And I absolutely LOVE #6. From the looks of things, it seems the player in focus didn't last much longer after that picture. Seems he was taken completely by surprise, awesome timing and great shot.
