I know, I know. My bad. Been busy living life, working and hockey. Here's a few photos I like from last weekends out of town tournament: I like the balance on this photo and everyone watching. This has not been edited with any photo software which it badly needs. Actually none of these have been tweaked at all. It's extremely hard shooting hockey; horrible, horrible lighting, plexiglass between you that either has a reflection of someone watching or you pick up the many scratches from the pucks. Plus, again, the boys are so darn fast. The picture I want is gone by the time the shutter releases. I basically find a good place to capture a photo, when I see someone start to come in the frame I press the button, holding my breathe and closing my eyes hopoing it was a good shot. lol.

This needs to be lightened up but I like it just as well. Unfortunately this is not our team and is a picture of one of our strong rival teams goalie. But the fact that it turned out pretty neat outweighs the fact that I normally wouldn't want to show it. I was testing settings again on my camera.

I ended up taking about 70 photos all together and they are not where I want them to be. I am really struggling with the settings. Makes me think of Tammy and her new baby. I told dh someday I want a new baby with classes that go along with it. I really feel restrained with my current camera because I haven't had any instruction with is specifically and the owners manual is one of the worse I've ever seen. Hmmmm. My birthday is coming up. Maybe I'll just ask for money to save for a new baby like Tammy. See Tammy what you did!
