I've only shot hockey a couple of times, but on those occasions I found the glass was too scratched for shoot-through shots. (It's actually lexan plastic I believe.) I generally shot from a spot high in the stands, using a longer zoom, like th 60-250. Once I was allowed to shoot from the penalty box, which didn't have glass, but I expect that most arenas won't allow that. Major arenas have camera perches. The ice arena in Huntington might have them, if that's where your shooting. I shot there once for the college figure skating nationals, but I was just there to watch my daughter skate, so I shot from the stands. Paul On Jan 13, 2011, at 2:45 PM, Elizabeth Masoner wrote:
