Excellant work as usual Dave!! Looks like the 300 f2.8 is a keeper!!!

Super colour and sharpness...something that is missing from most peoples hockey shots. What ISO did you shoot?

looks like you have some serrious banding issues or a failing shutter,,,

Id have those blue lines looked into ASAP

Thanks for the compliments, I use a varying ISO around the countrys rinks, these at Nottingham were shot at iso800

As for the banding I dont like it much either but rather that than give my work away...after all I need to sell a few to pay for the new lens...hahaha

Great stuff! I envy your lighting conditions...

Great work, thanks for sharing.

Really fantastic shots you have here. Thanks for sharing them.

Excellent as usual, thank's

Good to see Theo still playing...hopefully he can put his demons behind him...

Very good pictures and a good lens. Love them both ...

Awesome as always! That's so nice that you got a picture of Theo. How'd he do that game.
I'm using my 70-200L for hockey tomorrow, first time with a zoom. Is that what you used for the first 2?

Your pics are awesome...what body are you using?

Cheers,

Dave, I really like these photos. I have shot high school hockey and know that it is not easy to shots as good as these. Like the B&W also. Could you tell me what locations in the rink you shot from? Did you shoot through the glass on any of these? Did you use custom WB?

I used to have the 300 2.8 but needed the cash. I miss that lens, it was by far the best I've ever used.

I use a Canon 1 D mkII body with a 70-200 L lens and a 300mm f2.8 both with IS. I mainly shoot from between the benches or from the bench itself. I have shot through plexi glass but the images tend to be a little "soft" and on average I lose a stop of light which isnt perfect for a sport that demands speed.

Rightly or wrongly awb has always stood me in good stead and seldom do I need to tweak too much in post editing, Canon seem to have it spot on for where I mainly work, and lets face it ,,,it makes life a hell of a lot simpler!

Drisley good luck with your new lens, its awesome and has stood me in good faith over the years, you will have a lot of fun with it, Im looking forward to seeing the results!
