Husky Hockey, Alumni Game Mar. 4, 2006
© Copyright Tom Christiansen, 2006
My previous experience shooting hockey with my Canon 10D had left me somewhat disgruntled about the performance of the auto focus system. So for the alumni game, I decided to try something better. Thus, I rented a Canon 1D II. Fantastic piece of hardware. The percentage of in-focus shots went up quite dramatically which made it much easier (or at least less difficult) to capture some action.

The coach invited me to shoot from the player's bench. In addition to the unobstructed view of the game, it provided a unique opportunity to shoot some player portraits as the players came off the ice.
