scott_c4 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 <p>Did you see the video on yahoo sports of the recent Washington Capitals game where a player shot the puck the length of the ice without really much speed on it and it skipped just before the goalie and went over his shoulder and in? It looked like he was trying to pass it to another player at center ice but it went the full length. The goalie looked like he was just going to casually stop the puck and sweep it away and it went over his shoulder and in. I'm not a Capitals fan by any means, but it was hilarious.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_c4 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 <p>Just got back from shooting a couple of squirt games. 1600 ISO did the trick. The levels came out just right. Yes when You zoom in tight they are a hair grainy but printing them at reasonable sizes they look great. I also tried 800 and they end up just a touch underexposed. I can probably lower the shutter speed from 1/400 down a notch and I'd get what I'm looking for at ISO 800. For squirt and peewee hockey 1/320 or 1/250 should be plenty fast enough. Here's a few samples:</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gord_hayes Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 <p>Use some sort of support, monopod tripod, something.<br> Even though 1/focallength will aid in reduction of camera shake at slower speeds, some motion blurr, focus camera shake will still show. You have to keep the camera steady as possible<br> At it's far end 150-200mm the DOF at 2.8 is about 6" at 200mm and 12" at 150mm.<br> As you've found out you are pretty limited at most rinks.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
