Nice shots, more envious of your credentials than anything though!

I prefer the 1st and last ones the most. The first though looks a little flat to me, the light is extremely even or something almost washing out the colors. The last one is good, tough to freeze the action like you did too.

Not bad at all, what kind of credentials to you have to shoot there?

I assume you are using the stobes up in the rafters?

Most of the guys I've watched shooting the Wings are at the corners shooting through the windows in the glass with either 35-350 or 100-400 lenses. They all use the strobes.

Unfourantly I'm not, I wish I could but they usually leave the Strobes for the News guys or if someone is shooting for Getty Images.

Fantastic images without the strobes! I figured you were using strobes to get these, great job getting these kind of images without the use of them in a hockey arena!

Being a former keeper, I'm partial to #5 of course. Very nice exposure (especially the ice). Strobes are great but when you get the colors looking like you did, they really aren't as necessary. I ran into the strobe issue at Quicken Loans Arena once. Talk about bad, there were only four of us shooting and no one could use the strobes since the arena crew didn't know how to turn them on. Grrrr.

Nice series man, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for looking Scott, I'm a target myself so I'm always fascinated by the netminders, I was pretty happy with the shot of Kipper in Shot 5 as well, but probally like #7 the best especially the way the puck came off tuzzi's leg.

I think they look great. After playing for awhile and collecting hockey cards I remember why I loved it!! Many of these remind me of my card collection....

That first one looks like it could be a pic used for a sports card. Very clean pics though. #5 is my fav though, good goalie action.
