Paintball - College National Championships

I spent last weekend in Florida covering the National Collegiate Paintball Association's National Championships, featuring more than 60 teams from around the country. I have a gallery of photos from the event on my site, www.pbpancho.com

The event was also filmed by Fox College Sports and will air this summer.

All photos were taken with a 40D and 70-200 2.8 IS or a 20D with Sigma 24-70 2.8. When possible I shoot at around 1/1250 of a second in order to free the spray like that.


Here are a few of my favorites:

Nice shots! Wish I could have been there.

Especially #1.

The first 2 shots are spot on. Great captures!

you keep getting better, making me want to put down my marker and start shooting again. I look forward to seeing the magazine shots.

Thanks Mike, I have to balance shooting and playing as well, I wonder which is less expensive?

Well I get paid now for both so it is a tie for me with the exception I have to buy my camera gear. Playing is more fun by far but I would say that taking photos is what I am better at.

Mike, who are you playing for now?

#1 would be unbelievable if it was horizontal pic but you can't always have everything. :/

#2 for me....great work

Yeah, I know what you mean. I usually shoot vertically, and didn't really expect him to throw his arms out like that.

Great work man. The timing on one and two are awesome.

Love #1, makes me laugh.
