The last hockey game for this year. (HV71 - Brynäs).

The saddest words in the English language are "if only".

Problems with the ice. (Hockey HV71 - Malmö).

I've seen caretakers "fixing" the ice with fire extinguishers a few times before. (Pretty unusual).
But this time it didn't work out. So there was a 15 minute break during the game.

Portfolio update

I recently updated my website.
The start page, and the hockey and soccer portfolios.

Choosing the "wrong" position - for the remote.

Earlier I've been writing about "choosing the right position" a couple of times.

Recently i wrote about the importance of not relying on a remote to get the job done: http://blogg.photo-it.net/2015/12/newer-trust-remote-hockey-u18-hv71-malmo.html

Saturday i did a "self assignment" att a youth hockey game.
Where i "challenged myself". For the first half of the game i used a 400mm lens + the "roof remote". For the second half of the game. I only used the remote.
Now, there was in total 4 goals in the game. All in the "wrong" goal, which was not covered by my remote.
From a journalistic perspective. The last picture, where the winning team celebrates their victory, would work.
Other than that. I used a different setup than the last time i used a remote. This time i covered a smaller part of the ice.
Instead of using 70mm on a 1D mkIV (equal of 88mm on a "full frame"). I used 102 mm on a 1Dx.
(So now im planing on bying a 85/1,8 lens for my 1D mkIV. Equal to 106mm on a "full frame").

And as you can see, i couldn't resist to crop my images in a "Instagram style".
