Atmospheric Photos

[DaktariT]

We have some great photos of guns and loadouts but they tend to miss the atmosphere of a day of Airsoft so I started this thread for such photos.

 

I'll start with this one, Autumn at Battle Lakes, Kent.

Does this qualify ?

We're lucky enough to have a talented onsite photographer at worthing. She's got some great in-game shots but I'll post a few of my favourite I've saved of me and my mates.

Good pic but sad. He looks like he is Billy no mates and has just taken a pounding. Reminds me of me. ☹️

He would look lonely due to Battle Lakes respawns being as far from the action.

Can I play? 

Not as polished as some of you fellas but here we are. 

1st Is a candid of me and my team while we were getting ready at Bush Valley in Kent (sadly closed down now) 

2nd Is from a scorching summer day at Imperium Airsoft moments before I was hit with a burst from a truck mounted mg.

Is that recent news? They were still open a month or two ago and are still listing next weekend as a date on the Gunman website...

 

In terms of "Atmospheric" pictures, mostly they seem to have people in them doing cool shit or looking tacticool, when we all know the actual atmosphere at airsoft is a bunch of people standing around talking...

 

"so I found this shell casing on the floor"

"still hungover from yesterday,  had MCd's on the way here..."

"No, I've ordered a new one from the retailer but it still hasn't turned up"

"Isn't that the wrong suppressor for that impression year?"

"not sure, but it's like red and itching..."

"Does anyone know what we're supposed to be doing? Have we started yet?"

"...whole other team not taking their hits if you ask me..."

 

 

[Dan Robinson]

Found one of the lesser spotted boy in his Russian hat.... I say lesser spotted because he hates having his pictures taken.... 

 

 

As for tacticool.   I have a few briefing shots, but one thing seems common to the sites I play.... The official photographers are better marshals than they are picture takers. 

 

My shots are heavily cropped and tweaked ??

A 2015 Infiltration Airsoft game in the Drakelow Tunnel Complex. This sort of captures the experience of playing in a dark, dank WWII industrial complex/1980s nuclear bunker, but the camera doesn't (and couldn't) capture the later atmosphere when players and smoke grenades stirred up so much dust you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. I have no doubt that a couple of games there without a gas mask would give you all the 19th century diseases.

Not quite what I was aiming at but for some reason works ?

That sums up what I was trying to achieve with thread. I'm jealous. The black and white is the added bonus.

False alarm, I mispoke. Ment to say Bush Valley. Battle Lakes is alive and well as far as I understand. Edit inplace

You can’t quite see it from my face, but I’d just spent half a day running up and down the hills at RIFT The Ridge. I think the atmosphere would be sweaty with a hint of dehydration?
