NorthDakotaHockey Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Some really great shots. For those of you in the know on these things, I assume that they are digital shots, eh? Does one use a flash, or do you set the "film" speed at a really high ASA? Nice work Dahl. Send more if you can. NDH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndahl Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Yep, it's with a digital Canon SLR and a L-series (pro series) lens. Flash does no good at distances such as these unless it's a strobe built in to the facility (Xcel has such a system), but I do boost the effective film speed to 800 for hockey - if I push it higher I get more noise tha I like. The Mankato Civic Center has a lot of dark spots and isn't well-configured for media, but the staff most every place in the WCHA are helpful and accomodating. My favorite photo of the bunch is: http://siouxsports.com/galleries/51/011.jpg , which I think is one of the most interesting action shots I've captured yet. John Some really great shots.

NorthDakotaHockey Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Thanks again Johnny Dahl. Great shots. I agree. The one with Schneider jumping is pretty cool. I used to try and shoot Sioux hockey in the late 70's, when you could get a seat by the ice anywhere, because tickets and seats were not hard to come by in the relatively lien Rube years. It ain't easy shooting hockey, because the finger is always a split second slower than the eye. Combine that with the speed of the game, and it tells those in the know that you need a great sense of anticipation to be a great hockey photographer. Keep up the anticipation there Johnny D.

dagies Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Those are great photos, and the Schneider photo is a top notch. I'd be proud of that too. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
