Steve-
Thanks for posting #1, although in my opinion it would have been a much better photo if he had made the shot (ha ha). Projo has a very similar picture on their website but I think yours is much better. Were you shooting opposite the press box above the glass? I thought the rink seemed even brighter than the last time we played at Schneider, they must have really had the lights cranked up. I was shooting from behind and to the left of the NK goalie against the glass. My version of this shot has my son's head obscurred by the goalpost and the goalie laying out on his stomache. I don't do well photographing him anyway when he's carrying the puck because I get too nervous and I like to see the whole picture not just thru the viewfinder. What number is your son, is he #13? I like the 3rd photo showing the bend in the stick. I'll try and post some of mine tonight.

I was shooting from above the glass from both sides, I find they look better then through the glass. The lights vary a bit there, some lights are more yellowish then others. I clean these up in PP after the fact. The white and blue jersy colors look great, Sunday will be black and white.

#1 -- awesome shot!

And I bet that both players will remember that moment for different reason

#1 is one of my favorite shots of the season. The kid made a good move and the goalie made a great save.
