All I can say is photography is way too much fun to be legal. :ivar
I am still learning with my dSLR (previously, I used a Sony 707)
Thanks for all the great tips posted on this site...

You certainly seem to be picking it up quickly. Those would be hard to expose.

You used flash?

I did...

I had a step ladder and positioned myself just past the corner set of glass. With the step ladder I was above the glass and could utilize the flash. However, I will say it was a little "scary" at times. On one occasion the puck came close...

Where I was situated enabled me to capture all the action around the goal. It would be great to have faster "glass" to eliminate the need for the flash but... It worked this time. My friend (co-worker) was thrilled with the pictures. She told me I was able to capture pictures the paid pro has not been able to capture...

Thanks!
