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.

But it’s fairly nimble at field level.

The last hurrah for Summer.

It pains me to see summer slipping away. But it pains me more to think that this may have been the last year the kids will want to go to this place. They’re getting bigger, and the rides are looking smaller.
Time marches on.
—Peter.
Listening to the inner child.
