Paintball!

I could update you on the house but it’s a little discouraging so we’ll save that for a day or so. In the meantime, let’s look at all the photos I took this morning while the guys played paintball. I was the official photographer of the event (all 5 of us) and I borrowed one of Rich’s many orange shirts to make it obvious that I was “not like the others” and shouldn’t be shot under any circumstances.

It was lots of fun. I may be inspired to carry a gun marker next time, but I was happy to just have a front row seat to all the action and get to experiment with the camera. Now I just want a new lens even more … maybe Santa will bring me one.

    I have new lens envy, too. The one I want is the Nikkor 18-200 VR. It’s only $650, so I should just buy it, right? (Uh, yeah.) I’d just need to sell my 18-135 lens first.

    I like the Rich practicing shot with the smoke. Do you use aperture priority usually? My lens will certainly do f/4 but I usually let the camera select from it’s aperture/shutter programs. More tinkering to be done, indeed.

    Great shots.

    For all of these pics I set it to aperture priority. That’s been my new “default” unless I’m trying to do something wild and will set it to manual. On the zoom lens I have I don’t have a ton of aperture range but it keeps it from trying to turn on the flash. My two new dream lenses go down to 2.8 but are $1200 each. :)
