My buddies in a grass v-ball tournament

I've been sidelined this summer with arthroscopic knee surgery, but went out today to show my friends some support.

Nice, love playing on the grass

Good ones, Brad!

It's a lot easier on the knees, too!

And, unlike the sand, you don't itch in strange places

could you have gone with a quicker shutter on some of them?

looks good!

SO true!


Nice shots as well! Looks like a lot of fun.

Nice pictures!

I was at Metro on Sunday playing on the grass. I talked to a few people who said they had played in a grass tourney on Saturday. Wonder if it was the same one. ...

Thanks for the comments all!

I could have, but I like having a bit of motion blur on the ball. Makes it look more like a real game instead of a posed picture where someone could have just tossed the ball into the picture and its floating there.

It was probably the same one. Do you play up at Metro often? I used to go up quite a bit a few years ago when I lived closer (and had healthy knees).

if you wanted some blur, then that was a good shutter to stick with, obviously.

Not as often as I'd like. I usually get out there at least four or five times each summer, and I've been going for years, too. I'm sure we've run into each other at some point.

Chris, say "Hi!" here:
How many from Michigan?

wow, almost looks like the grass area where some buddies of mine play vball...minus the clouds and people constantly reaching for water in this heat
