Hey Guys...


Here's the scenario - I have to shoot my high school's hockey game tommorow. It's going to be a big deal, our city final game (Toronto). I'd like to know what the rest of you would suggest for me to use, as this is basically my first time shooting hockey. I've shot hockey once, but it was for only 20 minutes at a neighborhood game.


My gear currently consists of:


40D


17-85 4-5.6


55-250 4-5.6


50 1.8


Tokina 12-24 f/4


420 EX Flash


I'm going to be grabbing a wide variety of shots - everything from the bench to the game to the group shots to individual pictures. And I'm bringing along my parents' Xti too, so I can use two lenses at a time. I'll also have my Manfrotto tripod with me, too.


Ideally I'd have two remote 1D Mark III's set up in the rafters with PocketWizards and a Mark III in a goalie box with the 15mm 2.8 fisheye... I wish!


Any help here would be great. What are your experiences with flash at hockey? The 70-200 2.8 IS will have to wait , so I want to be able to use the lenses I have with good effectiveness.


Thanks Again.


- Alex
