A few images from last nights Hockey Practice

Hi Folks,

Thought I would share some of the better images from my first experience of photographing Hockey, in the rain.

See what you think. Some may be better in back and white, the Astro-felt green a bit strong in some images.

Someone has asked me what camera set-up was used. Shot on a Nikon D810 with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens using active stabilisation. All the images in the first posting were shot with what seemed to work best for the conditions f/2.8, 1/640, iso 3200, exposure compensation -0.67 (2/3 stop). Did start with a slower shutter speed of 1/400, but while that was fine for people, not quite fast enough to reliably capture ball movement. The images below were all taken at 1/400 sec.

Many thanks to Sarah for the opportunity.

Graham Thanks for posting the pictures.

All the hockey team are really interested in seeing the pictures you took. Please do send some jpeg to me at sarahrs@yahoo.com or post them on your Flickr or Instagram account and I can pass the links on.

Hi Graham,
Good to see your images taken at night under floodlights.
They are better than I expected.
Any software used to enhance the images?
