Here is an unsolicited photography lesson on depth of field, meaning how much of your subject is in focus.

This was shot at 600mm (pretty far for a lens) f5.6 and my subject was across a baseball infield. As you can see by looking near the feet, there is probably the space from the mid-cleat to six or so inches in front that is actually in focus. This is because the focus is on the eye or face and the player is leaning forward. In fast moving sports, especially those with masks and at a distance, it is hard to catch focus on a head and almost impossible to get an eye, meaning the camera will likely grab the whole torso making the focus less than ideal. For instance, if the focus is catching on a knee or thigh area the subject's face can be out of focus because the DOF is less than a foot in many cases. with an indoor sports lens.

I've lost many great shots this way because shooting sports is always a balance of setting your camera for the speed and lighting conditions of a game.

Thank you to Hockey Championship Series for having me out to 140 Ice Den on Sunday for the Spring Splash, and for everyone who signed up for photos for their players! I have a few extra photos from the event that can be found at the link in the comments!

Today is the day, sign up early!

I enjoyed a little photo hiatus, but I'm right back at it again this weekend with two big events! Tomorrow I will be shooting Livingston Skate Club's evening Ice Show, the most my arm ever hurts while shooting because of the jam-packed action. 😅

On Sunday, the Hockey Championship Series Spring Splash returns to 140 Ice Den for a day of 6U/8U hockey. For families attending this event, I will be shooting only TWO players per time slot, so register early by scanning the QR code or clicking the link in the comments.

See you this weekend!

The 2016 Jr Cougars had a solid weekend going 2-1, just missing out on going to the finals, and also missing their final game due to an 'ice resurfacer issue'. 😌
