Today a good friend invited me over to take some snapshots of a competition being sponsored by the Airsoft League of Texas.

Intense is the only word I can think of =)

Here are some of them:

@Capt Tom: I was my 1st time to watch a competition so I'll try my best to explain what they explained to me hahaha.

Basically, there are two ways to win: last man standing (you shoot as many opponents as you can) and then there's the flag over the castle thing, where you get your flag over their castle or base whichever they call it, without being shot at.

And then there are two types of games: the free-for-fall and the marshaled game.

For the free-for-fall, like what mike said it's an honor system where you call yourself out if you get hit. You can try to cheat but being hit by a BB is pretty painful.

Then there's the marshaled game where you have 8-12 field marshals (depending on the size of the field) where they track players who get hit.

On some games ricochet and pistol fires are not counted, friendly-fire is almost always counted, flash bangs within 10 feet kill radius sometimes count depends on the agreement before hand.

On competitions such as this one they are usually timed too, 15 mins per game I believe. On the free-far-all its usually takes way longer.


@Mike: I just increased the sharpness to almost 100% to make it more manly hehehe.
Added more than average vignette and contrast too. Coz off the camera the images looked a bit feminine with the lush greenery hehehe.

@Jusselin: thanks bro after wedding season I may try to join myself
