I had my camera and tooks some shots after my game on Sunday late afternoon.

I hate the lighting at this rink since one side is basically a west facing glass wall and the sun was setting. I think I'm happier if it's consistently bad rather than spotty. I kept getting glare off the dirty plexi-glass and stange shadows.

1. I love the ice flying off his skate. I think the puck is between the two of them...

2. Great skating form, but I think they should only have one hand on the stick if they're chasing something....

3. Face off!

    Cool shots. :)

    I wouldn't worry a lot about lighting - I have yet to go to a rink that had good light of any kind. Usually it's tungsten orange or flouro green. Ugh.

    WOW I'm supposed to do the hockey page for our school yearbook and looking at how nice your photos came out with the f2.8 makes me really want to get it. If only I had the $$$$$$. Nice job, lovin the colors.

    I may well have. Since the ref isn't weariing a USA Hockey crest, I'm guessing
    you're either at RWC or playing a PHA game in San Mateo.

    70-200/f2.8 is the way to go.

    Make sure your goalie is this good though...

    sorry about the haze, it's the glass behind--this was taken on the rink the
    San Jose Sharks practice on and both ends are scuffed beyond belief :D
