Girls Hockey Team

Shooting in arenas and other venues with tricky lighting is always a challange. I used full manual overides on this one. The lighting was brightest at this end of the rink and the fact the girls were stationary made the difference here. I adjusted the contrast and increased the saturation slightly in PhotoShop 7 and ended up with what I think is a very decent photo. You can see one girl smiling through her mask.
