Gizmo 21 Report post Posted September 22, 2007 Last night I had one of the best seats at the Joe... on the glass right behind the net. So, of course I had to take my camera along! Pavel, setting up for a pass... Downey trying a wrap-around... Franzenstien was on fire this game... Gregorenko, pre-game... Igor, shooting the puck off a Pens stick And of course, some Homer photos! Homer, in the office... And an Ozzie... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted September 22, 2007 Thanks so much for the pictures. I love those on-ice photos. I didn't know that Downey was wearing Lang's number. Hopefully he'll bring the same kind of work ethic and battle mentality that Lang brought to every game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I was talking to the TV cameraman sitting next to me in the aisle and he did say that they ARE planning on extending the seating in that section over two more seats to occupy the space formerly taken by the goal judges box.

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted September 22, 2007 Off-topic (kind of) question: What kind of camera were you using? I thought the Joe had some sort of rule against certain size cameras, and those pictures are near-professional (great job!). I'm asking because I have a camera I'd like to bring, but I wasn't sure if the Joe allowed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gizmo 21 Report post Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) I was 100% legit. I used my Nikon D70 with the 18-70mm "kit" lens. The JLA policy is "No cameras with lenses over 80mm". I'm also kicking myself because I meant to take my faster 50mm f1.4 and 28mm f2.8 lenses that would have allowed me to eliminate the motion blur due to the slower shutter speeds. Unfortunately, I spaced it and left them at home. The photos were taken at ISO 1600 and post processed with Noise Ninja to reduce the high ISO image noise. I also had what probably would have been my best two photos ruined because I got "strobed" by the arena stobes being used by the DetNews shooter. We fired at the same time and my photo looks like a small nuclear device is going off in the rafters!! Edited September 22, 2007 by Gizmo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to see more shots with your preferred equipment. It would have been funny if you could have out strobbed the Det.News guy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gizmo 21 Report post Posted September 22, 2007 It would have been funny if you could have out strobbed the Det.News guy!Unfortunately, he's the only one with the strobes. The other thing you're not allowed to use is on-camera flashes at JLA. Here's what it looks like when you fire at the exact same time at the DetNews/FreeP guy (it of Datsyuk's break-away late in the 3rd that would have been the GWG): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gizmo 21 Report post Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) ...great photos! But, I think I missed the goal judge thing... Where are they sitting now?They are actually on platforms over the entrance ways from the concourse and are roughly parallel with the goal line. We talked to the TV camera man next to us about that change. We said now they just turn the light on when they see the ref signal a goal. If you are holding an SRO ticket, congrats, you now have the same view as the goal judge! Edited September 22, 2007 by Gizmo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
