On this past busy weekend I attended only half of Jonathan's 5 hockey games, but I only had the camera out for 1.5 of the games. As I stated yesterday, that final game was so intense and entertaining that I was happy to watch from the stands and, therefore, see a lot more of it.
Of course, I am about to show you some photos, but do relax because there won't be another game for more than two weeks — not a home game anyway.
Game 1
This is the only game the boys didn't win, but it was a draw. They were up by two goals with two minutes left, but then they gave up two goals — the last with just 15 seconds left in the game. It was disturbing to the photographer as well, for I had set myself up at the bench to take a photo of the boys erupting into a cheer. Obviously, that cheer did not eventuate.
We are in blue, and Jonathan trying to get the puck to safety.
Our goalie had a lot of work. The last of the three photos resulted in a goal.
Game 2
We are wearing white, and this was the easiest game of the three that I saw, but I don't wish to slight the other team, for it was still competitive.
And that will be a wrap for a few weeks unless I get to an away game. Even then, I would most likely just sit in the stands like a regular bloke.
Well done. You are a good Grampa!
ReplyDeleteGreat action shots, AC.
ReplyDeleteBattling with sticks for a puck, while your feet are sliding around on skates, seems like a given opportunity for humor. But they manage to be pretty darn serious about it!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, AC. You are quite talented!
ReplyDeleteSports shots require lots of work because while you are trying to get the focus right, the composition changes and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteGood action shots.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a photographer's challenge. Constant movement and change, lighting blur, limited access. You do okay.
ReplyDeleteLove to watch this game (supposed to be the fastest game)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the photos but as I've mentioned before, can never follow the puck in an actual game.
ReplyDeleteThey did a lot better than the Leafs are doing.
ReplyDeleteThe action shots of these games have only got better over the years, AC, and sure the players and their families appreciate them. Also, I am glad I was able to help with any confusion in the previous post. That has happebed to me as well and always appreciate when a fellow blogger questions something.
ReplyDeleteThose are all so cute! Thanks for cheering! Yaaaaaay! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteGreat action shots of the game! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about hockey or skating, but their skills look impressive!
