Peter, thanks for the video, but not one question about typical f/stop or shutter speed? Most professionals I've spoken with suggest somewhere between f/2.8 and f/3.5, shutter speed 1/1250th to 1/1600th, and heard ISO was typically 2,500 at pro arenas (where I shoot - local rinks - more like 4,500). No discussion of where at floor level would his go to vantage points.
How should we, as hockey photographers, progress up to NHL? I've seen students from college take a few shots of college team, then jump to intern at NHL team. Seems to be just who you know and not skill. Many professional photographers don't give you "the time of day" to help at all. I do notice one thing, at least here in MN, if you get on board with a professional team, you are pretty much able to shoot any professional sport not just the team you were hired by. Free access to any professional sporting event.
Peter, watching your videos has helped me improve my sports photography. I have a question about my equipment going into the winter high school indoor track season. I have to leave my equipment in the car, in the cold, while at work then use it to shoot indoor track. I would appreciate any advise on the preparations necessary to get the equipment from my cold car into the indoor track event and not have issues due to the change in temperature and humidity.
Very helpful. I’ve just started shooting the Nottingham Panthers in the UK. Most exciting sport I’ve done so Far
Great video Peter - I'd love to shoot hockey at some point, never tried it yet.
