Great shots DS51, like them all but specially the pug shot, but i wonder if you have one with the background in focus and the pug blurry. :)

Ha! That's a shot I'd like to see as well. The pug in the foreground is clearly distracting from the subject of the photo. My guess is that you'll nail it next time once you spend some quality time with the AFMA feature. :)

Hi, this weekend I was visiting an international Women's ice hockey tournament where the national teams of Sweden, Finland, Russia and Germany participated. To me it was a combination of general interest in the games and, of course, a nice photo opportunity. I thought I'd share a few of my favorites from the weekend (the majority of the photos are from the final game that Sweden won against Finland):

Thanks for viewing!

cls - From your pictures I noticed one difference between men hockey players and women... in the second one and the last one the women still have their front teeth:D.

Hockey is a very fast sport and your shots are sharp... nice work. I imagine it also would be difficult getting good exposures with all the white around, but your exposures look right on. Nice shots.

Happy Valentine's Day!
