Hey,
My names Ian and I am hoping to get into photography. I would be taking pictures of paintball players because I play paintball and I would really like to hopefully make a career out of it some day. I am still young now so I have plenty of time to improve. Anyway, I am going to get a new camera for my birthday. I need suggestions on a camera though. I've been told a Nikon D50, and from what i see, the quality is very nice. I need a camera that could capture the fast pace game well. Something that wont blur. So does anyone have tips for me to get the best pictures like the professional paintball photographers? Tips on a good beginner camera would be good too, i'm leaning towards the Nikon D50 as of now. Please take a look at the sites to see what kind of pictures I want to take.
Here are some Paintball photographers websites:
Miguel Cruz
http://www.miguelcruz.com/
Kat
http://www.katspix.com/
They are the 2 most respected photographers in the paintball world by the way. |

| I was playing around with a Canon Rebel XT this afternoon with my brother and had him move around as fast as he possibly could, and I got some very clear pictures out of that. |

| My sister just got a D40 and she loves it. She's gotten pictures of us running around like crazy out in the yard and they've all come out great. |

it depends on:
-you budget
-your lens
-if ur budget is around than $600-$800
you can probably get nikon d50 or a canon rebel xt... another good camera is the Olympus Evolt E500. Evolt is getting a lot of exposure lately because it's cheap and quality is almost the same as nikon and canon...
evolt e500 is 8mp and u can get a kit for less than $600!
-now about the lens... this is a major factor, specially if you are interested in sports photography... |

| Go and handle a few different makes of camera see what feels right to you, in your hand? build quality? does it have a good range of accessories? does it do all you want it to? don't be swayed by anyone else after all you're the one who will be using it all the time. I'm a Canon gal but then I have been for over 20 years. |

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
