Hockey Portland vs Prince George

Filed under: Canon 1D Mark III, hockey, Portland Winterhawks, Prince George Cougars, Sports by:

I was glad to see Portland Winterhawks with Red jerseys. It's little easier to focus than white against ice.

# 28 Stefan Schneider and Winterhawks Caption #6 Brett Ponich

Hawks are super charged this season. #55 Tayler Jordan was jumping into Cougars bench.

Offensively, Hawks dominated throughout the game. They scores 4 goals in the first quarter.

Final score Winterhawks 5 Cougars 1

Hockey Portland vs Seattle

Filed under: 300 2.8, Canon 1D Mark III, hockey, Portland Winterhawks, Seattle Thunderbirds, Sports by:

Hockey season is officially begun and it was against Seattle Thunderbirds.

Shot was taken with Canon 1D Mark III + 300 2.8 is @ ISO 1600, F2.8, 1/500 sec.

This is my first season using 1D Mark III and I love MK 3 so far (low noise and fast AF)

I don't have to run any noiseware software anymore. It's clean up to ISO 1600.

Little bit too tight I think. I need to learn shooting vertical. However, most editors, websites, blogs etc likes horizontal rather than vertical picture.

It was great season opener game. Final score Portland 6 Seattle 1

100+ hockey player headshot

Filed under: Canon, Dramatic Lighting, Elinchrom Quadra, Headshot, Photek softliter, Portland Winterhawks by:

I photographed 100+ hockey players today. Winterhawks gave me 2 hours to finish and set up was fairly simple. I like to use background light but client wanted similar background that WHL used (they didn't use background light nor hair light). I can give up background light but I couldn't photograph without hair light. For this many players, setting up boom arm and adjusting it's position was impossible. I used strip-box as a hair light instead and it was set about 1 stop under. This created some separation from dark background and lid up player hair and shoulder. Main light was 60" Photek softliter II which specifically designed for Elinchrom. Great for full length portrait and I generally don't use fill due to its large light source. I used a silver reflector in case player wears a hat or helmet. A 10x20 Westcott muslin backdrop was used since some of these players were really tall.

Here's some of the images that I shot today. I only had less than 1 min to shoot for every player. To see more player headshot, visit my website or winterhawks homepage
