It was fun to get back into the hot seat to start shooting hockey again. Even the photographers appreciated the pre-season game to work through some of the cobwebs of shooting such a fast sport as hockey.

I typically have more decent pictures to pick from but the shots were just not there Tuesday night. My total number of shots were down and I really had only 3-5 pictures relatively decent.
One of my goals for the evening was to try a few different things that I might incorporate later in the season, so I think this had some affect on the number of keepers that I had. It is of course fun to take a good picture, but I also really enjoy pushing myself to try different things and then learning from the good AND bad shots.
