Last night had me shooting in the ice rink for my little brother’s hockey game.  There was nothing too special, but hockey is a hard sport to shoot and the lighting conditions are not the best.

The toughest part is working around the other players and the officials.  The action moves so quick and there are so many bodies flying around that getting a clean frame is difficult and requires some luck.

Having another body partially obstruct the subject can occasionally work out.  I like the above image and I think the left hand blurry player adds depth to the image.  A split second later and the that blurry player would have filled the frame and destroyed the image.
