Just to give you a little context on my days (and nights) here in Milan, my time zones have shifted. Almost everything I am photographing is at night now, having me get back to my hotel around 2am. I wake up at 9:30 to catch breakfast before it closes, and then head back upstairs to catch up on all my email and write these blogs.
As I mentioned before, I am running behind on the blog posts and trying to get caught up again. I have so much to share with you all.
This blog post goes back a couple of days to the first time I photographed inside the Santa Giulia Ice Hockey Arena. It was the US Women's hockey team skating against Switzerland.
Before the game began, I went outside to get photos of the stadium at night. It was really nice looking and better to add some USA fans too. This time I was using the
Canon R1,
RF 24-70mm lens and a
Canon flash.
I then went inside the arena and looked for other fans (and family members).
Then I went down to the glass to get warm-up shots for the team.
As always, I sat on the side where we shoot twice.
There was a lot of action.
I love getting photos like this one, with the player shooting and the puck just entering the goal (but still very visible).
Haley Winn gave this great smile after scoring that goal.
More smiles to go around.
Here is Tessa Janecke trying to net a goal.
I love this shot too...even though it looks like a goal, I don't believe that this one went in.
The Swiss goaltender was very busy in this game.
During the second period, I stayed on the same side to get defensive photos.
Kendall Coyne skating fast and hard.
If the US scores a goal at the other side of the rink (and I don't get a shot of it), I will typically turn and get fan reactions.
I was happy to get some good action shots of backup goaltender, Gwyneth Philips, doing her thing between the pipes.
In the third period, the US women continued their scoring...
...and celebrating.
Another photo showing the puck entering the net. Two of these photos in one game makes me (and the team) happy.
I got a text message during the third period, asking me to get some photos of the coach on the bench. I moved photo positions (which is only allowed during the breaks), and got this shot.
A little stick bend...
...and another photo using the Canon RF 7-14mm fisheye lens. (BTW - I am still waiting for the epic shot against the glass!)
The US team celebrates a shut out game against the Swiss, and I celebrate another good game capturing photos.
Please excuse any typos. Normally I try to proof read everything before I post, but here at the Olympics, time is a commodity. I definitely miss some things. :)
