Last September a generous friend Holly, sold me her Fugi camera when she upgraded. However, when she handed it to me she said "if you want to get into it seriously you will quickly want to up grade." Obviously, I fell in love with digital photography and just in time for the AHL playoffs in April I upgraded to a Canon SLR. My partner and I still use the Fugi as it takes good photographs. The benefits of having two cameras and people shooting the same game makes for far better coverage. Most of the posts in this blog will be of our work not just mine, let's face it sometimes the other guy has the better angle and photo. One of the greatest advantages of the SLR is not just the picture quality but also the other technical "goodies" that go along with all those pixels. Today's blog is a series of photos where the 2-6 were taken over a period of 2-3 seconds on continuous fire.
The players in the photos are The Wolves Brett Sterling (LW) the AHL Rookie of the Year and a pure scoring machine. He is a little guy, 180 lbs and standing 5'8" in skates. What Sterls lacks in poundage he makes up for that in pure moxie. But his numbers combined with his size make him a target for every goon in the league. On April 22, 07' the opponent is Sheldon Brookbank (D), the enforcer of the Milwaukee Admirals. In a rare instance of vigilance the referee actually steps in to stop Brookbank from twisting Sterls head off like a screw cap.
