team photo's - while bouncing the lights may seem good, it can also not be the greatest.
this to me is ugly - bad team photo
while this to me is not - good team photo
NOTICE THE BACKGROUNDS - in the first photo it's ugly, just plain old ugly. in the second photo it's symmetrical, and adds to the image. If you bounce lights in an arena then you're going to see the arena. so make sure it's an arena you want to be seen.
ideally, what you want to do is shoot from the goal line, with the team placed between the hash marks and the top of the circle (depending on team size). get up on a chair, with your lights as high as they can go. shoot at around f14, it will drop the background and give you a fabulous team photo.
the problem with most team photo's is they want the "ice logo" in the photo. that's lame, you can't see it anyways, and it usually ends up on the print as a graphic too.
things to have on hand, besides your camera gear.
-water bottle with water
-small car squeegee
these two items will save you so much time in post. player skates in front where he shouldn't then you spray the ice down with water, and squeegee it away, voila! new ice.
