Paintball

Alot of abandoned buildings are home to teenagers and other locals. This paticular building was completely covered in paintballs. The trespassers even created obsticals and hiding spots in the buildings. This wall had a man made hole punched right through the tile. I would imagine they used this to fire through.

Wonderful shot David! I like it a lot yet have trouble putting it into words or it would take too many of them.

You made me jealous here. This image is awesome. Nuff said.

Great shot and pretty interesting background.. in some way it reminds me of war photos, but thank God it's just paintball

Hola David, esta fotografia esta muy muy buena me gusta mucho, sobre todo el espiar por la pared.

Fascinating shot. Love the clarity of the remnants of the paintballs as well as that little hole in the wall. Man I want to go paintballing now :/

What a great shot!! Good depth of field and framing with that blur door in the background.
The wall is very interesting.

I like those photos without a real typical subject but with a strong atmosphere.

Great DOF

interesting image - I love abandoned buildings as they make great subjects

Love the simple composition. A little more paint thrown at it and it would look like a Jackson Pollock painting ;-)

Hi David, thanks for visiting my blog and thanks for your kind comments. It's great since, in turn, I discovered your blog! Your project of shooting abandoned buildings look really interesting with some great images as a result. This image is really cool, it's different and the colours from the paintballs are terrific. I agree it has undertones of a war image.

Radel :: May 13, 2008 at 02:38 PM  
Beautiful. The fusion of colors from paintball and the DOF. Very nice David.

A very fun shot. I like the blurred view through the hole.

Great idea!!!
JM@somedaysomewhere :: May 13, 2008 at 07:46 PM  
Well done - nice juxtaposition of 2D and 3D spaces - and cool play with focus..
Sean :: May 13, 2008 at 08:23 PM  
Feels like someone's about to pop around the corner and nail you with a paintball. Take my word for it, they sting.
Andrew :: May 13, 2008 at 08:28 PM  
Nice one David. I like this a lot.
tom :: May 13, 2008 at 08:47 PM  
I really like the hole which opens up the view into building. The blurred inside leaves room for the fantasy.
Alejandra :: May 13, 2008 at 08:55 PM  
Wow!! Great shot! very good idea! I like the colors and the view through the hole. Great!
gallcat :: May 13, 2008 at 11:37 PM

Like the framing of this shot. Great colors and textures. Nice job composing this image.
Paul :: May 14, 2008 at 12:50 PM  
Really like the DOF here and the vibrancy of the colours on the wall
Jan Erik Moström :: May 14, 2008 at 01:49 PM  
Nice, I like how you have combined color and lack of color + depth of focus into one very nice picture.
nissou* :: May 14, 2008 at 08:51 PM  
very nice use of dof. what a creative idea!
rix weber :: May 15, 2008 at 07:31 AM  
this is good. nice colours. strong lines.
cako :: May 15, 2008 at 11:23 AM  
Great idea. The blurred background looks interesting.
Jim :: May 15, 2008 at 08:48 PM  
I love this. I was fooled thinking this was a mirror on the wall, but the dof made me look deeper.
GreG :: May 17, 2008 at 04:40 PM  
Génial, j'adore.
