4th Singapore Invitational Ice Hockey Tournament (another perspective)

Nizz · 1st March 2005

Hi all

Just to share some shots taken on the first 2 days (out of 3) of the tournament held from 24-26 Feb 2005 at Fuji Ice Palace.

Quite a 'challenge' for me given my 'slow' lens and the little knowledge (read 'none') of the sports (& as such, had to work on the curves quite abit in Photoshop). Nevertheless, I came away a more 'learned' person.

Feel free to critique.

Cheers...Nizz

Nice pictures....

What kind of processing did you do? On my case, I have not done any processing other than small usm and resize as they ask the pictures asap.

Hi Javaman

I had to adjust the 'curves' because of the low light as well as 'USM'. There were some that required cropping as well, but minimal. All were done in PS.

It's clearly shown that you know what to do with D70 + 70-300mm f/4, great pics!

Hi Judhi

Actually only a few of those shots were with the 70-300mm...most were with the 28-105mm f/2.8. After our chat, I decided to switch back to the sigma!

Hey, I am a fans of Sigma too...

I have an 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 as my favourite walk around lens but not so suitable for this event. Maybe because I have different expectation on the picture angles.

After looking at your pictures, I have better idea on how to utilise that lens if get cought in such situation.
