Ice vs Inferno
Round one of Melbourne Ice Vs Perth Inferno,
The women battled hard this evening and great pressure from both sides which ended in Infernos taking the win 5 - 4.
It was my first time taking photos at an Ice Hockey match and it was thrilling, initially I had tried taking photos of players on the Ice but the current Lens I had (24-70mm) wasn’t capturing the shot that I envisioned.
Battling as well with the glass around the rink made it hard to get a good focus, it was a great learning and experience and I will be gifting myself a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G EG VR II AF-S for my sports photography.
During the match, I found the best place for my current setup was just behind the benches so I was able to use the Bokeh effect to focus on players watching the ice and also players on the Ice which turned out well.
