Hockey Night

My buddy Dan plays in an adult hockey league in Scottsdale. Last Monday night, I went over and practiced my sports photography and took pictures of his team as they played in a playoff game. I found that sports photography, like most things in life, is harder than it looks. I got off a few shots but the lighting and angle for the action is more of a challenge than I thought. It was a lot of fun though and I plan on going to another one of his games to practice some more. Besides one other advantage of covering a hockey game is that it is really nice a cool in near the ice which is a welcome change from a long hot desert summer.
