i like your perspectives, color and action. overall i think your pictures are very good, however, in pictures: #1, 3, 4 & 5 i think the ice is too "hot." by way of comparison i am looking @ dunzie's #2 picture. this ice looks more natural.
anyway, like many of the other postings here, thanks for shooting and sharing hockey. the nhl strike is killing me too.
capitalK,
Nice shots. I enjoy hockey as well, always looking for that cool capture.
I was shooting there last weekend. First time for me through the glass (hard to find a clean spot sometimes esp. in the corners.)
I'm using a 60D w 70-200 2.8 ISII. Still learning. Do it for fun for now.
Yes it is very hard to find clean glass, especially when there are a few games in a row or after they host a tourney there. I like to move around which sometimes helps and sometimes you find a worse spot.
The team photographer has the best spot, right between the benches with no glass.
Also from last night: the mascot and player Michael Schumacher standing for the national anthem.
