Hockey: AHL Admials vs. Rockford

[sadler21]

After a couple games with only a couple decent shots, Im finally getting the hang of shooting hockey. The Admirals wore special 'retro' jerseys similar to the Milwaukee Brewers baseball jerseys of the 80s. All shot through the glass, C&C welcome. http://personal.carthage.edu/cjerina/images/ads_rockford/659E2735.jpg http://personal.carthage.edu/cjerina/images/ads_rockford/659E2754.jpg http://personal.carthage.edu/cjerina/images/ads_rockford/659E2809.jpg http://personal.carthage.edu/cjerina/images/ads_rockford/659E2935.jpg http://personal.carthage.edu/cjerina/images/ads_rockford/659E2897.jpg http://personal.carthage.edu/cjerina/images/ads_rockford/659E3139.jpg http://personal.carthage.edu/cjerina/images/ads_rockford/659E3184.jpg http://personal.carthage.edu/cjerina/images/ads_rockford/659E3236.jpg Chris

Great action, love that 4th shot. The AHL sure has some great action.

#2 is my fave

your glass is clearer than our glass!! I shot through the glass for about 10 mins and it sucked, black streaks everywhere from the puck (and lacrosse balls) so very hard to get focus as it was so marked up. There's two areas that have new glass that are ok but no clue where they were. Our AHL you have to shoot from the concourse! ha. I'm likin the snow shot most.

Thanks guys, Im happy with the captured action in the images, but my PP still has a long ways to go.

MJ, I know what you mean about the glass, I was at a Blackhawks game a few weeks ago and couldnt believe how many marks and streaks there are on the glass.

Excellent timing and a great job on the exposures. Very good stuff.

Love the action/capture on #4. Good stuff! I'm reading your post as I'm doing some noise cleaning (1st time use of Neat Image) on some shots I took of the Syracuse vs. Lake Erie AHL game last night.

Hmmm, gives a different twist to the term "Wall Bangers..." Nice series.

Enjoyable series. The Brewers logo on the sweaters through me for a loop until I reread your post.

Yeah, the glass at the United Center is surprisingly marked up with puck scuffs and is also really scratched up (helmets). I've seen cleaner glass at amateur rinks.

Thanks guys, went to the Admirals game in Chicago (Allstate) and couldnt believe how poor the lighting was. Needless to say, playing at the Bradley Center spoils the few photographers there with their lighting!
