Along Jordan Creek not far from the Pedestrian Bridge and Ford, Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, PA.
AHL - Henderson Silver Knights - media day portraits. Godox strobes - a7riv with 24-105 f4 G. this was my first real commercial shoot since switching to Sony, and i must say it made the shoot very smooth, as there was a lot of movement with the players skating on the ice. for the first time in a long time, i didnt feel like i was fighting the camera, but rather being able to direct my subject and not worry about if the camera would nail focus or not. It was quite the eye opening experience.

Awesome images, Al! It is truly refreshing to see sport images in this thread. And not only any sport images but professionally done images at that. Keep them coming, please!

How big are your light modifiers? The light looks soft so looks like you either used huge modifiers out of view of the camera or did you edit out the strobe and modifier in post?
Stunning work Turbodude. I am very happy to hear you are enjoying the Sony system. You are a welcome addition to our Sony community here on FM. We will all learn a lot from you.
