those are two separate events

the most recent event they called off the wedding and I had already shot the engagement photos....so I had her sign those rights over to me. She originally wanted no distribution of the photos.

Hey boys well since its Cyber Monday I thought I would take advantage of it and get a camera. Now I'm not big into cameras so I don't know what to look for or anything like that. I'm just looking for a good camera that will take some really nice quality pictures and something that is easy to share/ transfer photos to wherever. Also I have seen a couple wi-fi cameras which would make sharing photos 100x easier, so if anyone has any expiernces with the wi-fi cameras that would be great! So anyways just looking for a camera that can take nice quality pictures and that doesn't cost less than $600.

Thanks again for your help!

Buy this:

You will hands down have the ability to take great exposures.

What did you take the pictures with HockeySavants?  Nice zoom but a little blurry so it must be a great zoom with probably a doubler or not enough light/speed to fix the action.  Crop maybe?  Never the less these are great since its a pain to shoot in a hockey game specially in a nhl arena where they do not allow reflex cameras (at least in Montreal they don't).

Ziakoo, these are incredible pics.  What kind of hardware did you use for those?  Is there cealing flashes in khl arenas like in nhl arenas?

I used the 55-250mm Canon IS lens, I was actually way up in the nosebleeds.

 

I shot them with my 20D, ISO 800 f/13 1/200-500.

 

Bridgestone Arena (Nashville) does allow SLRs but lenses cannot exceed 5" so that was the biggest I could take.

[maverick72]

Well hats off cause its not easy to shoot in arenas without cealing flashes and monster zooms.

[ziakoo]

maverick72, thanks I didnt use any external flashes during KHL games. In 2011, when Slovakia hosted World Championship in icehockey, there were some external flashes built around arena, but as far as I know, only official photographer of IIHF could used them. I am using EOS 7D with lens from Canon 70-200/2,8 L (no IS)
