Christian Hockey Camps International Photos

Last week I had the opportunity to take photos during the Hockey Ministries International camp in Valencia, California.  This ministry has been serving the community throughout the world of hockey since 1977.  Their main focus is on youth and professional teams with the desire to impact the hockey world with the Christian message.

Have you ever experienced motion blur in your photos when shooting fast action sporting events?  Setting your shutter speed to 1/1000s will freeze the action.

In this photo I wanted to show action, movement in the photo using motion blur.  I lowered my shutter speed to 1/200 and kept the player's face in focus as I panned my camera with the action.

If you're not able to use a flash during the event, you'll need to increase your ISO speed to capture enough light for the proper exposure.  ISO measures the sensitivity of your cameras image sensor to light. In darker situations use higher ISO settings to get faster shutter speeds. Increasing the ISO settings will produce greater noise in your photos. Would you rather have a noisy photo or not a photo at all?
