I like #3 and #6 best but they are all nice. Is the photographer in #5 a member here?

I don't think I've ever seen any women's hockey photos from Europe - thanks! I enjoy your soccer photos but haven't seen any hockey from you before. Do you shoot hockey often?

The light in that rink seems to be similar to what I see here in Wyoming - ISO 3200, f/2.8 and struggle to get enough shutter speed to keep it sharp.

Hiya.. yeagh I have taken on the role as official photographer for Blackburn Hawks Ice Hockey as all there home games are the same as my football clubs home games and with a 5.45. off it means i can do both. the fixture gods will dictate if I can be there next season :)
They have womens and junior teams as well as a mixed non league. Hawks are in the lower leagues and attract just a few hundred fans a game.

With the mkIII I really like iso 2500. its creamy is the best way to describe. going to 3200 leaps into rough. So I go for 2500 and shutter 320.. when it gets to the far end I drop to 250 or extra PP in photoshop

Tog in #5 seems to have oither things on his mind. No idea who he is

Thanks for the comments :)
