Out of the Jurisdiction: Hockey


While I was in Columbus, I bought a third row ticket to a game between the
Columbus Blue Jackets and the Philadelphia Flyers.


I tried some photographs of the action with my little compact camera.


The Blue Jackets won 3 to 2 in overtime.  That goal was at the other end, so I didn't catch it.

  3. Action shots at athletic events are hard to capture because of the fast action. I've never been very successful; you did a great job. I often visit Jim Klenke's post at http://www.terrelldailyphoto.com Recently he has posted other kinds of shots but look at his older posts. Usually, at least 90% of his photos are of sports events and he's gotten really, really good at it over the last couple years.

  10. Regarding your comment at my blog yesterday, I imagine some good buskers make a good deal of money at these events on tips, but they have to balance that out against the costs of travel and those parts of the year they're not performing.
