I was outside the hall between recitals on Sunday when I heard these people playing hockey in Cal Anderson Park. I ran back inside, grabbed my camera and snapped off a quick thirty or so shots before heading back inside.
I am inordinately pleased with this picture. Part of it is a new subject matter (always a pleasure) but mostly because I found an opportunity to play around with panning shots, leaving the shutter open just a bit longer while keeping my focus on a central subject. I have a long way to go with the technique, but I’m pleased with this as a start. The trick now is to keep my eye open for future opportunities to play with it.
