A little bit of Red fever










All images Nikon D3S, using Nikon 400 2.8 AFS, 70-200 AFS VR II & 16mm Fisheye on Lexar UDMA Media

The sold out Verizon Center went crazy last night when the Washington Capitals came back from behind and beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2. Fun shooting from above, and from ice level, trying to capture the action. First time out at an indoor event with the Nikon D3S, & 70-200 2.8 AFS VR II lens, both of which performed flawlessly. All of these images were shot at ISO 5000 or 6400, at 25o0-3200th at f4. I was really there helping out Mitchell, checking the "NetCam" between periods, which you can see in one of the images above, in the white box mounted in the net. And yes, I did have to go out onto the ice to do this once the Zamboni passed by, and no, I didn't fall on my ass.

Woodpecker at work

This is my 1st video with the Nikon D3S & 200-400 AFS/VR lens. Shot through my office window on a very cold January morning.
