Airsoft Skrimish under the pines at Baguio Country Club

Blame my teen addiction to Counter-Strike for the reason why I’ve always wanted to try airsoft, paintball, or laser tag. I finally got my chance when Lakbay Norte went to Baguio for airsoft skirmishes with the Baguio Airsoft Club.

I had so much fun playing airsoft at the pine forest of the Baguio Country Club even though I wasn’t good at it. Shooting guns and spotting well camouflaged enemies was too much of a challenge for my poor eyesight.

I eventually got distracted by the picturesque scenery at the golf course that I diverted to another kind of “shooting.”

Guns and flowers!?

After my turn with the gun, I wanted to test the new macro lens adapters I bought for my Samsung EX1 camera. I foraged the forest floor for small things to shoot like dandelions and what not. I was amazed by the photo quality, not too shabby for a compact camera. I’m constantly reminded that people don’t need bulky SLRs to capture beautiful photos.
