Old Time Hockey
no images were found
As we hunker down for a good old-fashioned blizzard, here in the Boston area, I thought a fun hockey shot would be appropriate.
I took this a couple of months ago at a youth hockey game. The kids were all around 8 years old and they flew over the ice with no fear. It was fun to watch.
With the fisheye lens, I was able to get almost the entire rink in the frame from behind the net. So I just camped out for a few minutes and waited for the action to come to me.
Love the ‘fun’ of this shot. At this vantage point, the fisheye was the best lens for the job.
Nice, amigo.
Awesome use of the fish eye Bob!
Good luck with the blizzard!
Great job and great perspective with the lens – bet you had to wait a while to capture an image of the kids not playing “Follow The Puck”…great back checking effort and attentive goalie caught here!
This is fabulous! Action, context, distortion – what more could you ask for.
Keep warm up there and don’t damage yourself while digging anything out from the snow.
The fisheye is perfect for this shot. Nice!
