NHL Action : Detroit vs. Chicago 1/17/2010

Disappointing loss for the Wings who fell short to the Hawks with a Shootout loss 4 - 3.

Nice shots..... I think we all missed Howard breaking his stick over the crossbar after the shoot-out.....!!

Yea I think I was pulling off my lens when he did that, was still nice to get some shots during the shootout, don't have the opprutunity too often.

Any Comments ?

J. Love the goalie shots.
I am a fan of white goalie pads.
Good to to see them make a comeback

Thanks for the comment, I've been a goalie ever since I could stand up on skates and always did have the passion for white goalie equipment, it just looks cool, but also a fan of colored pads, especially what they can do now with graphics.

Cracking shots in particular I like no 3,great detail and focus and dynamic looking.

Do you mind me asking what lens you are using?

Photograph the Hockey at my local team here in Edinburgh and only using a 100-400 with a 50D so you can imagine results arent anywhere near like this but they aint to shabby
Think the lighting at our rink doesnt help either,its actually pretty poor as think they save some money by not using them all!!

Cheers

Like #4 - you captured Sharp's features nicely - showing the determination/looking for a way to capitalize on a situation.

JF:

Excellent shots. Assume you were tied into the strobes at Joe Louis? What body and lens combo? What was EXIF? It is not embedded in images. Also glanced at your PF on Zenfolio...how do you like that interface?

Cheers!

Thanks for looking, I was using my sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 for the shoot.

Thanks, I always like to capture that raw emotion when I can, I did like the below shot of John Madden when they were playing a little skit on the overhead at the Joe.

In 1996 I had a contact at Brian's, as you know a manufacturer of goalie equipment.
They made me custom made goalie pads with graphics. Six months later, knee surgery.
Haven't played since........... at least the pads still look great.

Sorry to hear about that, I was always a fan of Brian's equipement but there prices always seemed high to me, I'm currently in a pair of Heaton's that I bought about 3 years ago, but Arthritis is seeting into my knees and I keep telling them I might hang it up, but for some reason they won't let me quit.

Nice shots... even better cuz my beloved Blackhawks beat those damn Wings
