p.1 #1 · Youth Hockey

Heres a few shots from a youth hockey game I shot today during a tournament. I shot 13 games yesterday and 5 today, this being the last (they stayed on my memory card). C&C welcome and appreciated, shot with Mark II, 300 2.8 @ f/3.5-4 ISO 200 1/250.

Very nice, obviously either a very bright rink (unlikely) or you strobed/flashed, in which case you got the white balance and colors dead on! I love being able to see the faces.

Gary,
I had 4 Alien Bees setup along the bench side of the rink. I had one in each penalty box and one inside each of the blue lines.

Scott,
These are some of the best-lit youth hockey pictures I have seen in a long time. Congrats.
Did you use the 11 inch reflectors? Do you put a mesh of any kind over the reflectors to stop pucks. I lost a tube once from a puck. It was freaky, but it happened. How high are your reflectors? 13 feet?

Gary,
I appreciate it, I used the 7 inch reflectors, but the roof of the arena is silver reflective insulation type material, which really helped when bouncing. No mesh over the reflectors, but thatd a good idea- the 300 2.8 I was using no longer had a hood because it took a puck.

I love the expression on #3. Nice work.

Man, I was just trying to shoot some hockey in low light. Having 4 flashes must be awesome to get the shot!

Scott,

Nice work. Clean, sharp, well lit. My only comment would be some of them seem to be cropped pretty tight (1 and 3) and I would have gone horizontal on 5. Sometimes is nice to give the players somewhere in frame to skate to.

Thanks for sharing.

Dennis
