Ice Hockey - Tuesday Night.

[dellipher]

Hi guys just a few from tuesday night, quite a few people are wanting "portraits" at the moment, hence some of the close ups. But....CC welcome.

#1 - Ben, this photo is a bit noisy I am aware of that. I have also done this image in black and white, to see if it "looks" good. I have yet undecided.

#2 - Waiting for passing shot.. [sorry its a bit smaller, its over 1024 on longest edge]

#3 - Quick Warm Up drill.

#4 - Keep your eye on the puck!

#5 - Its a hot job!

You luckys so and so
I have been wanting to spend a night getting some Hockey pics for years and years... I even contacted 3 different clubs with various emails going back and forth to no avail

so how did you manage to do it????? (jealous as hell)

some of these are noisy... but I guess the lighting is not great etc, good job well done
cheers Chris

I photograph an amature icehockey team at Ice Sheffield. I generally go [when I can] to Tuesdays and Thursday nights.
Im using my sigma 70-300 at f4-5.6 generally wide open with an iso around 800-1600. And I now shoot handheld too.
If you dont have a high ISO, it compromises on your shutterspeed, and then you just get super blurry photos.
How I managed to go and photograph the Hockey was, I met this guy at my friends wedding [who plays on the teams] and we got talking, and I said I wanted to go shoot Ice Hockey [after he told me he played] and voila! He asks, I go down...and thats done!

Age old saying, its not what you know its who you know.

And I can take other togs with me

I sit on the players bench I dont have any perspex!
But seen as they're only "pretending" at the minute!!

I reckon that's incorrect!

I reckon that it's not who you know but what you know about who you know!

One of my friends always says "I'd never fall out with you Adele, you know too much"

Point Proven!
