High School Hockey- new camera

Ok so I finally got my 7D so I figured id post some pictures from this weekend with it to see what you guys think

I would back to white, very few people like "realistic" yellow pictures.

Also, what f-stop did you shoot at? Some of these pictures don't look tack sharp but excellent action shots.

Color correct the set.

WB is not the same as what you think you remember about the scene.

I love the goalie action.

I think shooting Ice Hockey is pretty hard.

I'm still sorting it out. One thing I currently try is boosting saturation, just a touch. It seems that the poor light just bleeds color from the scene.

ok i got rid or some of the yellow, how do these look now?

I love the timing on #5.

thanks, i liked that one too. the 8fps of the 7d really help in capturing goal sequences

Timing is good but all of your shots are soft

Hope you don't mind, I tweaked it a bit in Lightroom.

My thoughts exactly. The shots are fine but they're just not very sharp. This is a perfect example of why I sold my 7D, got tired of shots like this.

thats what i was thinking. they were that way on my old body too so I'm thinking i need to do a MA. gonna check it soon to see if it will help

Unlikely to be the cause.

It is more likely to be insufficient shutter speed and a bit of camera shake.

I currently have a 1D Mark III, Mark IIN and a D7000. I already had the other bodies, I bought the D7000 to replace the 7D.

i checked and it does need some MA. these were at 1/640. i had some others that were at 1/800 with the same results.

I played around with it some more, did a lot of sharpening and got this: what do you guys think. I sharpened it to 100 then exported and reimported it to iPhoto 2 times, so sharpened to 100 3 times and this is how it looks now.

I'm not saying you don't need MA. Just pointing out a more likely root cause of a soft shot across the frame.
