Haven't posted anything in FOREVER!

Couple shots from a pump paintball night this weekend. Tough to shoot because it's fairly dark inside and bringing my flash isn't really an option. ISO was sky-high, and shutter was a little lower than I'd have liked, but they came out decent.

Shot on my 5dMk2 with a 70-200 2.8

    Looks like fun! Are you shooting behind glass at all or do you have to worry about a rogue paintball coming your way?

    Nothing between us! It's just like football or any other sport though, you just need to keep an eye on the players and be aware of your surroundings. I've actually taken a ball or two near the lens occasionally, nothing directly on it though *knock on wood*

    The worst part is actually having to wear the mask, you can only see about 50% of the viewfinder so it takes a bit to get used to composition. Fortunately it's easy to crop tighter wit the 5D haha.
