Hockey to the max

When I started shooting pictures of Aurora on the ice five years ago, they were typical parent pics. Shot of the kid watching the puck go by, pics of the kid falling down, pics of the kid getting back up. Otherwise they were pics of empty greyish ice.

Last year during the TGHA tournament there was a fellow taking pictures with a cannon of a camera. Top of the line Nikon D1 with a MASSIVE 400mm f/2.8 lens... a photog's orgy of gear. His pictures were fantastic in terms of his ability to get high speed shots of players on the ice under horrid lighting conditions. Really a testimony to how far technology has come.

My only beef, was that his eye didn't follow my kid. Ever. Out of 200 pictures there were two of Aurora. Ugh. So this year I sought to change that. I took a LOT of pictures during the first game of the tournament. Here are a few of Aurora doing her thing!
