more paintball practice

took advice from my last thread and shot in Av and i most of my shots came out great

i also love when pros come out to play too

1.

battle in the middle sequence
(all of these except for the watermarked ones are unedited, except for cropping)

These are quite good! You have some vignetting going on that is a little distracting, I don't know if that was intentionally added or not? And over-all the shots seem to be a little underexposed - Could easily be fixed with curves in photoshop.

Other than that, everything else is great - You caught the action beautifully.

I love the series where the guy goes around the big inflatable thing - I was just praying the last show of the guy looking ended with a big yellow splat on his face though haha

Are you intentionally processing them to look underexposed with light fall off in the
corners? Also, the WB appears to be all over the place. The colors on your wide shots
(in the sequence) look correct. Also, are you selectively masking the backgrounds of
some of the images? Especially the last one. If not the bokeh looks very strange,
possibly due to overall sharpening?

Other than these probably "artistic" editing methods, I think the captures look great.
Good job catching the action.

I think you have some very interesting captures, but your post-processing ruins some of them (in my opinion). If you like em, then great.

Nice shots.

Between this and your last thread, it seems like you've gotten some nice captures, but I have to agree that your PP is a little much.I know this might not make sense, but to me it seems like I looking at the processing and not the picture

But like I said, you've got a good sense of timing IMO

Some great shots there!

im sorry but your PP dose not help, your unedited ones look better. Your Color and white balance changes from photo to photo. Under exposed, and to heavy vignetting. Focus is good though. Cropping on some photos might be a little tight. otherwise good job behind the camera, but PP not so good.

thanks for the comments guys
as for my PPing, i really am doin it for an artistic look, plus when i get them to the actual players, they seem to love the look of them

and im always changing my pics look after PP, so with these i was experimenting some,
cause i really havnt found a real niche for my processing when it comes to paintball photos
maybe cause i hate looking at normal looking shots haha

heres some more

yeah i get that feeling too, and I suppose i'm not one to talk about over pp'ing paintball pictures

haha ya see i love that processing on types of pictures, but i can never seem to get it right

I love to paintball but have never tried to take pictures of the sport. Are you on the field or outside? If you are inside how do you protect your camera?

looks like a great it of fun

Kata E-702 bag... Does great things... That and understanding the game, and knowing where the paint is so you don't walk into a line of fire...

Your still going underexposed..
the vignetting is really not needed.
While i find its neat to see a different style of editing, the inconsistancy as well as making the photo dull is reducing the quality.

I like your unedited one... Alittle touch up to thoses would be great but still...
