I really like your photos. My fav is the last one. I love the paint ball splattering off of his leg. Cool.

 

[deputydan]

Thanks! I was hoping someone would eventually comment on these lol.
Here's a couple more.

 

[Garcia]

This one is my favorite. What kind of camera do you use?

 

[deputydan]

Olympus E-500

 

[Wozza]

The one Garcia pulled up is my favourite as well. Awesome action shot with good emotion.

A few questions for you. What team is this and what division are they. And What do you do to protect yoru camera from getting shot. I used to play every week for a long time and then my local field closed and i realized its just too expensive for me, but im looking to get into the photography side of the sport but i dont want my camera to get lit up. Do you do anything to prevent it or just be careful?

 

[deputydan]

There's a mix of Avalanche, Vicious, Catastrophe, Disposable Heroes, and a couple local teams. I don't really have anything to protect my camera, just use a UV filter on the lens and a lens hood. I would suggest some kind of rain cover if you're really worried about it getting hit. In my case, I just make sure and look for the shooting lanes and stay out of the way.

ya thats a good idea, but theres always that one ball you have no idea where it came from.

 

[ShaCow]

this one is my favourite, such a great angle

 

[deputydan]

Hello, I posted this question earlier but I don't see it now, so maybe I did not do it right. I had no idea there were organized leagues for this type of sport. How long have they existed and finally, and this not meant in a sarcastic way, what is the attraction for this particular sport?

Those are some great action shots. Excellent work.
