Not posted for a while due to a few IT issues which are now somewhat resolved. A few from last nights 7-4 win over the Capitals:

These are first rate! Love the stick flex in the last one.

At the risk of sounding like an ignorant Yank, how popular is ice hockey in the UK?

Well done Scott, nice to see you posting again.

BTW I thought the bending stick was good in the 2nd pic & then I saw the last one. Gives me a challenge when I am back at MK in a couple of weeks (I always get similar shots so I think I shall try for that type of shot next).

EXIF - ISO 1250, TV, 400 shutter with plus 2/3rds exposure comp. Seems to get something which is pretty much spot on in camera. I have noticed though we now have a few lights out of phase in Coventry so some nice shots have funny lighting.

Serviceover - All the stick is there, it's the angle. The head is just visible, it's almost vertical.

Tony - Well things are nearly back to normal. You know what it's like when you have to start re-installing everything. Stuff is not where it used to be. I lost a load of custom actions as well so I'm going to be busy re-creating.

The stick flex is kinda funky. I have to admit the 1D makes getting it much easier with the higher fps rate. Quesion of timing, I'm sure you'll get a few with practice. I usually look for a slap shot from the point, start shooting just as the stick starts to come down.

Colours seem a bit off on my mother's laptop which I'm using for a week or so until I get my tower back.
