Hockey Sequence...

[Alan Dye]

Shot with a 10D and Sigma 70-200 f2.8. Let me know what you think and how to improve.

Thanks!

The rest of the sequence...

Those are pretty good "catches", but do we really need to see all of the stick at the left in the 1st one? I'd crop in on the action.
Some post processing would help, too. You shot RAW, right? ;-)

My bad on the cropping, but that's not a stick. It's part of the uniform. Post processing was with Picasa2. Also, these are jpeg.

Thanks!

For hockey if you want the ice to look really white and the players uniforms to really jump out set your exposure compensation to +2/3 or +1 and they will come out great. This will only work if you can keep your shutter speed high enough :)

Here is regular exposure for reference

And +1EV

Alan,
Do you use the ISO3200 setting with your D10?

Alan,

No, I find there is too much noise at that setting...;)
