    2009 National College Paintball Championships

    #5 is the most well known pro paintball player. They were practicing on a side field and I went out and shot one of their games, and just so happened to get a ball breaking on his mask. Probably a 1 in 10k shot to get that. Too back he was half shadow, half bright sun, so it came out looking...

    The best eBay auctions are the ones with a typo in the listing, so no one else finds the item to bid on, hahah.

    This is new to me

    All look a bit underexposed to me. Care to post EXIF on #2? Bokeh looks very odd, maybe camera shake? I like #5 a LOT!

    I have memory!

    I initially sort good/bad photos from events. With my old lens that killed well over 50% just at first glance. I don't ever look at or process them, but for some reason I still have them around. Probably because 500GB drives are like $70 now :D BUT there have been times that someone...

    What causes this effect?

    It's about 50/50 if a filter will stop a paintball hit. If it breaks the filter it could actually be worse, because then you are cleaning glass shards of the front element of the lens. Plexiglass on the other hand wouldn't scratch the glass, but is much harder to come by with good...

    I have memory!

    I shoot nearly all sporting events, so I take a lot of pictures. I have about 178GB worth right now, and it's all double backed up. Shooting RAW would leave me plenty of room for at least 1 day of an event, but 2 days would be pushing it. I normally have a laptop with to dump cards onto...

    What causes this effect?

    I UV filter is generally accepted as a protective filter. I had a filter on at the time, and it didn't break the filter, or even touch the front element of the lens.

    What causes this effect?

    The ball was a paintball :D It was my camera/lens. The photo was taken by someone else and e-mailed to me. Unfortunately there is no way to NOT watermark a single image in a watermarked album.

    I have memory!

    Yeah, missed the boat on that one. I think you could have gotten those 8GB Extreme III's for under $5 each! I saw online that it took 2-3 months for some people to get their rebates back, how long did it take for you? I will end up at about $20/card after rebate. Pretty good compared to...

    What causes this effect?

    I saw it coming through the viewfinder, too... Unfortunately no photo of the ball in flight.

    I have memory!

    Package arrived :D Including all my cards, and my camera's highest quality JPG setting (10MP), I can take: 8,343 photos before I have to empty a card!

    AFTER a car wash...

    This one is less than a block away from my work, so sometimes I stop there beforehand if I'm early. Then if it rained or something during the day, I'll stop again after work, haha! Only issue is 1 stall and 5-10 min cycle depending on which wash you choose. If more than about 3 people are...

    AFTER a car wash...

    $20/month for unlimited washes :squintrun: In MN winters it pays for itself. Sometimes I go twice a day :D Not sure if I'll continue for the summer, hand washing still looks so much better...

    Every time I see a black 6thgen with a NON-crappy hood, I have to hold back from stealing it. ...so your hood better watch out!
