A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I will be taking some hockey/wrestling photos again this winter but I will not be using auto settings all of the time this year.

For hockey, do you think I should be up at the top of the stands or rink side? I’m relatively new to sports photography (almost 1 1/2 years) so any feedback is appreciated.

To add on: if you’re shooting hockey, metering is tricky with the ice. You will want to meter the ice to -0- then raise it about 2/3 to 1 stop. So if you meter it at iso 1600, f/2.8, 1/1600, you’d want to click up twice on iso, or down twice on shutter, or one of each.
