What do you do when it's pouring rain and you've got a new lens that needs to be taking photographs?

Exactly, you go to the local ice rink and shoot a junior hockey game. Fortunately, the local 18 year olds were going at it and I was able to take advantage of the photo-op.

    Really nice! Hockey so difficult to get the white balance correct and you did a fabulous job!

    Thanks for the comments. They are appreciated.

    These teams also change schedules on the spur of the moment.

    As of yesterday, this particular game was supposed to start at 11:15; so I planned on going over after church. To my surprise, I got home and found that it had been re-scheduled to a 10:00 o'clock start; so I ran over and caught the end of the 2nd period and all of the 3rd.

    I can't claim any credit for the white balance. I simply have the 20D set for auto and use levels in Photoshop Elements to turn an otherwise dingy yellow image into a sparkling white one.
