Lots of good advice; However, most people can't afford or don't have a 300 / 2.8 or 400 / 2.8. Also a lot of people shooting at local hockey rinks can't use your settings as they don't have NHL lighting.
usually they let you take pictures anywhere. i do photography at my rink and they let me go everywhere. as long as they see you have a camera they let you through
Whats the rest of the settings you use? Like White balance, AF points (IE: Zone AF, Large Zone AF, etc), Metering mode (Spot or evaluative etc), and any other settings i might have missed? Whats the slowest shutter you would use for any hockey game? I shoot the mudbugs here in my hometown in louisiana and i shoot with a canon 5d mark iv and a canon 70-200 f2.8 lens.
Depends on the lighting in your rink. White balance doesn't matter if you are shooting raw (which you should be). AF settings will depend on the camera you use. Metering should be evaluative though if the lighting is consistent, use M and find a good exposure yourself. Spot will be fooled by different jerseys (a black jersey will result in an overexposed image usually with a slow shutter). I'd say aim for 1/1000s min shutter if it all possible. 1/800 would probably be OK for some situations.

Sounds like a you problem to me.
Excellent tips, super relevant and a tips from a true pro.

Great advice, experience driven tips- thank you!
I’m here in 2024. Dam, using 3200 iso 10 years ago! Brave! 😆😎
Good advice Steve. If you want to see some cool hockey pictures from the 80's check out Iconic B&W photos from the 1980's

@@thebestlucas_albrecht step 1. Do your own research and stop asking for others to do it for you

Thanks, helpful stuff.
A lot of good advice. What’s on the end of your lens there?
Lens hood.
Great video as we don’t have a hockey arena here in Dublin Ireland
Who makes the hood/bumper you have against the glass?
How do you even get to take pictures at a game if they do everything to try and stop you from taking pictures and posting your work?
very helpful!

Hey Joshua, that piece of kit is the Mamiya R67 lens hood!
iso 3200 1/2000... how is that even possible?
2000 seems so fast - I wonder if he's "gaming the system" and intentionally underexposing then adjusting in post?
Full frame body with great lighting on a 2.8 lens
Ouch!!!
