NHL Wings vs. Blackhawks-1DMKIV

[TTurrill]

Another game with the 1D MKIV. I really like this camera!!!! Chicago outlasted us in the shoot-out 4-3. Hawks have a great young team...... 1st shot shows where we shoot from at ice level, the size of that opening insn't that big. That shot was with a 15mm fisheye...

Great pictures! First time going through the sports pics. I assume you have special access for this. My friend was not allowed to bring his camera with a cheap telephoto even though he was sitting in the upper bowl in Calgary.

Go Sens!

Thanks.... Yes, I have media credentials for the Wings'.

[dvlsfan30]

these photos are amazing
as well as how good the game was

[deveraux]

Excellent shots, once again. Amazing how much of a difference the strobes make.

[catalyst412]

Great shots

[ETERNAL]

The only thing that would make these better would be a picture of the shootout when he flicked the puck slow motion style over the goalies arm!!

Nice pictures!!

[tomd]

great shots.
Thanks for posting the cut out photo(fisheye)
I thought most cut outs were higher off the boards than this? Often the puck is shot off the glass and it seems to ride/roll along the top of the boards; I guess you have to be quick with removing the camera. I assume there is a plug that you can place in the hole when you are not actively shooting?

Fantastic shots. Love how you captured the action, and great colors.

Yes, there is a plug, you will see this in place in this shot behind the player.

Thanks for the comments everybody. This was a fun game to shoot!!!

[jfphts]

Nice shots Tom, I like the uniquness in #1

[Utah7]

Great series - My Mk4's arrived last week and looking forward to giving them a hammering in Vancouver very shortly....

[Tony.Ibarra]

I really like these shots and I'm just starting to shoot with strobes so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but why did you choose f/8 and ISO 400 (as opposed to ISO 100 and f/4, for example)? Is there a benefit to stopping down with strobes? Just curious because I really like these shots. Great work.

Great shots.I like the one where the turnover machine(lebda) gives it away to hossa,lol

[wisv1k]

I'm curious how the use of flash at that distance affects the ability to take shots like this? I wanted to give indoor basketball a try to help out some high school students with some yearbook photos and, at this point, I don't even know if I can use a flash anyway. I am very new to action photography since most of my experience comes from shooting evidence photos. Can you take a minute to explain some hints and tips for the very inexperienced and very impressed new guy?

[Nick5]

TT.
Beautiful pictures. Love the red and white.
Great goalie shots, always a big fan.
Blackhawks have the best sweaters in hockey.

EXIF shows that you were getting 1/500s, f/8, ISO 400.. I'm assuming that's with the overhead lighting and some PW's. That's gotta be so much nicer than being stuck at f/2.8 and an ISO at 1600+

Cool shots.

That's why I was puzzled. It must be a pretty bright rink but I was still curious if the flash, which shows fired, was also a factor?

[TTurrill]

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the comments. Those were shot using the Pocket Wizard Flex TT5, Mini TT1 and 6- Speedotron strobe heads and powerpacks mounted in the rafters. If you look at the picture that I posted using the fisheye, through the hole in the glass you can see the strobes firing. Without going into a long explanation look at this link and you will see how those make you able to sync your camera with a higher shutter other than the standard sync speed....... :)
