1st time strobing

[VinnyC01]

My first try strobing hockey. (really my second) I have been shooting video and photo for two local teams. One want senior shots, so I borrowed a buddies. He is nice enough to let me keep them for the winter. The first night I show up an hour early and the media box is full of the local cable team. I have covered about 35 hockey games this winter and 34 out of 35 times, I am the only media guy in the booth. By the time I settle, get the strobes set up and even try to set my camera it's halfway through the 1st. I have not looked at those yet.

Yesterday, I shot for two HS's from the same town. Big rivalry. Here's what I produced. Still got a ways to go, but it's a start.

I had 2 - Speedotron - Force 10 with pocket wizards shot with Sigma 200 and the 40D.

This was my favorite:



This was the funniest one - this is the penalty box ... NOT the team bench ... see the stat girls being squashed and the condensation on the glass?:


I was happy here too:


Thoughts, comments, suggestions welcome, but just so you know, I think did a better job later that night at a another rink with silver ceiling that I bounced the lights off of. - post those later.
