Mark

Great captures! Will you share the info on your gear? Glass? Camera? Strobes? Do you shoot through glass or through a hole in the glass? Rubber hood against glass?, etc.

Thanks all,

I shoot with the D3 and for these I had the 70-200VR attached...#2 also had the 1.4TC on.

All shot through glass except #2, shot from between the players benches. All are ambient light.

1,3 & 4 are ISO 1600 f3.2 Shutter is between 1/800 and 1/1250. Auto WB.

2 is ISO 2000 f4 Shutter 1/800 Auto WB.

Thank you for sharing. Do you push exposure +1/3 or +2/3?

P.S. What's this VR (Nikon) stuff? You do mean IS, right? :)

well done...as always. You do an exceptional job with framing your shots. Can't believe they're through the glass though. My local rink is horrible to shoot through. I experimented shooting through the cutaway and it improved my shots tremendously. Of course, my camera is limited by a max ISO of 800 ( and that has tons of noise) and my shutter speed is limited to about 1/250 by the ISO. I can't wait to get a camera that works for hockey photography, hopefully by the Calder Cup playoffs.

Which camera you thinking of getting?

Looking to upgrade to a Canon 20D or 40D (the 40D has a solid FPS over 6, which definitely has an advantage in hockey photography). If I could afford a D3 I'd go for it in a heartbeat, but this is still strictly hobby for the foreseeable future. Any input or advice?

Great color and capture of the action as usual. Always fun to look at your hockey photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I loved my 30D when I had it, and was/is a great hobby camera. So I would probable go for the 40D, but check out what its like with current owners.

No matter which you get, have fun and post a few...
