Alberta Winter Games 2008 - Turn It On!

 

imageStarting tomorrow (Friday, February 15th) until Sunday, I will be volunteering as an official photographer for the Alberta Winter Games in Leduc. I have been assigned Men's hockey which takes place at the Beaumont Recreation & Athletics Centre. It's going to be a long weekend of shooting but I'm really looking forward to having the opportunity to practice my skills while giving back to the community.

I am also excited to try out a couple of lenses that my co-worker Greg was kind enough to lend me. I will be trying out his wide-angle 10-22mm f 3.5 and his 70 - 200mm 2.8 telephoto. I hope to get a good combination of candid, group, and action shots over the course of the weekend.

Photos from the games are going to be uploaded each day to a Photobucket album which will be available for 2 weeks after the games so that the participants can order prints. We've been given a limit of 100 photos per day and then they'll pick the one's they think should go up. The photos from Men's hockey will be at http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/ff172/2008awg/Hockey-Male/. I will also try to post up my favourites on my Flickr account.
