Nice shot, I love shots of goalies when you can see him/her actually making the shot. When my sister played goalie in college those were the shots I always tried to get.

(up by his left shoulder ;-))

I love the perspective of shot two as well, almost like a look a shooter would have.

I think the goalie is hoping the high shot doesn't hurt his shoulder, ouch. great shots.

i like how you got the angle of the puck AND the goalie is closing his eyes.

NICE!

#1 its on his chest ?

#2 is about to hit is forhead?

[italypa99]

nice shot i cant find the puck on the first one

[superdiver]

I think its just below the goalies chin right next to the left white neck stripe...

The puck actually hit him where the collar of his jersey forms a white V & ended up inside the chin part of his helmet! He took a few seconds to compose himself & was ok after that.

Tough to see in both of them.

I'm still not sure if I see it in the second one..

Take a look at the guy screening the netminder (where his visor meets his helmet).

cool shots. #2 is why I wear a full face cage.

Great timing on this!

I always wanted a cat's eye mask, but out high school league had banned them.. :evil:

Great shots! The player to the right in shot 2 must be thinking "Ooh, that's gonna hurt!"

Great shots, hard to see the puck alright. Glad to hear he was ok.

Awesome pix. Ya the collar bones aren't too well protected for goalies and always hurt bad. I added in extra padding up there when I played juniors. Wow 1/800 how'd u get the light inside a hockey rink for that.

Just after warm up, I took some test shots in manual of the net area at ISO1250, f3.2. I then checked the histogram & settled at 1/800th, f3.2. I do shoot in RAW which helps with any underexposure.

I used to shoot with the camera set on aperture priority & the largest aperture available (evaluative metering) but found this a little hit & miss. Setting in manual as described above gave me more consistant results.

Also, I think the rink may have put some new lamps etc. in since last season.

Hope this helps.

them's some lights. my typical rink around here is ISO1600 f2.8 1/500 or dimmer. There's one that I can only shoot with my 135 f2 wide open at ISO3200, 1/500.

i played last hockey session with a visor like in the the second pic...i think its easier to see out of, but you always take the chance of taking a puck or stick to the face/teeth.

i think i will switch back my my cage. if i got payed to play hockey, that would be a different story.

great pics btw. took me a second to find it on the 2nd pic, but the first was obvious, to me anyway.
