Hockey Girl, in action.
Hockey, Inspiration, Leica 75mm Summarit f/2.5, Leica M9(P)/M-E (CCD Lives!), Portrait, Q&A, Sports, Street, Teaching pointThis was photographed through the arena glass and under poor lighting, using the Leica M9/M-E and 75mm Summarit (see my review here). Not exactly “sports gear” but good enough to get this shot of my daughter.
Technical considerations:
- f/2.5 | 1/350 sec | ISO 1250
- The DNG file was “pushed” two stops in LR for an “effective” ISO of 5000.
- White balance was manually set during post-processing.

How many summers do you have left?
Inspiration, Leica M8 (CCD Lives!), Q&A, Teaching point10? 20? 30? 40? 50?… 1?
And would you change anything if you knew the answer?
I would.
The obvious question is:
Why am I not doing that already?
—Peter.
