Hockey!

I went with a friend to his hockey game and had a wonderful time! I was nervous about taking pictures after reading about Scott Kelby and his adventures with hockey... I must say it is not easy. It was inline outdoors which was for my first time. The first part of the game I was shooting through a chain link fence then someone told me I could stand in the penalty box (no fence or glass!) and shoot as long as I didn't mind the chance of getting whacked by a puck. My real limitation tonight was my equipment but I believe I was able to over come poor glass and high noise for some good shots.
