Supporters TheFull9 Posted May 15, 2018 Supporters Posted May 15, 2018 I have basically an insatiable appetite for looking at people's gear and loadouts online, pretty much regardless of whether it's the type of thing I'm interested in or not. You may think there's loads on here already but by my standard.. no.. I eat through it all mega fast. When I first made an account on Airsoft Society a couple of years back I spent heck knows how long going through thousands of pages worth of gear/loadout/gun threads; it's an old and dying forum now but one of the few archive 'gold' mines I hadn't tapped in to at the time. Facebook groups aren't much good for it in my experience but I really like to see the albums and other picture dumps that various pages run by skirmish sites/weekend organisers post; usually on a sunday night or monday after the weekend's game. The sites I (occasionally) actually play at don't really post many pictures at all so I'd like some recommendations for good places to check out if anybody has them. Ta.
Supporters Gepard Posted May 15, 2018 Supporters Posted May 15, 2018 My local has recently started stepping up with the photography. There's been some really nice shots these past few months. A little over 1500 here for you to scroll through. Updated weekly.
Georgeturner2001 Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Red 1 Chislehurst has plenty of photo albums you can scroll through! And if your lucky you might find the ones with me in...?
clumpyedge Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Have a look at the Legion Airsoft page (milsim/skirmish/battlesim etc etc etc) organizers, they have some pretty decent photographers attend events and have a plethora of photos online on their facebook and instagram.
Supporters Lozart Posted May 15, 2018 Supporters Posted May 15, 2018 @CKinnerley f&o the base cqc has some good photos (and some of me) but have you looked through Pinterest?
Nick G Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Survival airsoft based at Torrington post pictures pretty regularly of the games. Plenty taken on Sunday so should be up in a day or two. Well worth a look.
Arwen Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Nice topic... I've been looking for good airsoft photos since last week, as I am thinking about helping out a local site by taking photos for them (and I need some inspiration as to what works!) MacDonald & Simpson Photography do some photos for The Depot in Glasgow. Alternatively, what I've been doing is just a search on Flickr
Supporters Prisce Posted May 15, 2018 Supporters Posted May 15, 2018 Rift Airsoft photograph every event, look on their website and go to the gallery.
Duff Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Can't remember his name, guy at the Mall takes great photos. Always check their instagram after an event to see if I got papped. Oh Yeah, Instagram.... fuckin fuck tons of airsoft loadouts and pew porn on there.

Can honestly say I do not have a pinterest account, I know there is a small amount of 'tactical' stuff on there but 99% of it seems to be FB and IG (obvs YouTube for videos) so I've never bothered with any other networks.

Oh Yeah, Instagram.... fuckin fuck tons of airsoft loadouts and pew porn on there. Yeah been on IG a few years now but the vast majority of the loadout posting on there.. not really a fan. After a couple of years and the 10,000th posed shot of someone in badly adjusted gear with an EG smoke going off in the background... it grates. Just my personal experience and obviously I've not seen every account there is to see, but apart from anything I'm 90% on PC and FB albums on computer just work way better for what I myself am trying to see (which involves a lot of squinting for all the details and playing the gear guessing game).

There's LOADS of tactical stuff on there but there's also a lot of pics of Dan Foofighter endlessly reposted!

I often wonder why people would buy something and then not make the effort to make sure they've fit it correctly, especially when they're trying to look all gucci for the camera. Is it just ignorance?

You're a gear whore by wearing your equipment the way it was supposed to be worn? People are weird..
