Liz, I find myself shooting hockey more often than I'd prefer, actually, since my daughter plays. :) You might be shooting a faster-moving game than her U10 team usually plays, but the same challenges apply for finding a good angle, I'm guessing.
If you can get close to the bench, where the players are, you might be able to find a spot where you can shoot without having to shoot through the glass. I'd suggest cozying up to the coach & asking for access. While the players are warming up is a good time to try some shots there... depending on the game, you might not get access there later... I have also had some luck shooting through the glass, behind the net. It's a different perspective on the goal, anyway. I'm off to hockey practice right now... I'll keep an eye open for other ideas... :) -c On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 2:45 PM, Elizabeth Masoner <lizmaso...@bellsouth.net> wrote: > Ok guys, > > Living in the deep south of the US (Alabama) I rarely get to photograph > hockey games.
