I've found a new favorite sport to shoot: amateur dodgeball.
A few hundred players filled the BOK Center for a charity tournament Saturday. Most of them weren't any good, but they were having a lot of fun.
As with most sports, a long lens - 300mm in this case - helped isolate the players and reduce visual clutter. It also helped show the face paint and eyeblack that a lot of teams were wearing.
Of the 60 or so teams, most were wearing costumes and had team names you can't print in the paper. There were a lot jokes involving the word "ball."
The levity was a nice change from the seriousness of "real sports."
