I never thought about how it might just be the photographer playing around with shots.<br /><br />This is why HBIC's readers are awesome - deeply knowledgeable and brilliant! :o)Teebzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538474727022437837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906875144542272320.post-35131798845052234052010-07-13T00:12:49.864-05:002010-07-13T00:12:49.864-05:00As a guy who's shot a few NHL games and knows ...As a guy who's shot a few NHL games and knows news and sports photographers, it was probably just a photog noodling around, trying to find a different look. <br /><br />It's not a technical or rule related issue, the photog was just shooting from the catwalk for fun or style purposes. <br /><br />The thing is, is that after you shoot a couple hundred games there are really only so many pictures. Big hit, big save, goal jubilation, goal dejection. Peak action and celebration essentially. Once you get good at that you start looking for ways to render the game in different ways. Remote cameras are a way to get a different angle (netcam) and are now heavily used. Infrared is another. <br /><br />Also, the photos are listed as Panthers photos because it was either the staff photog messing around or as a condition of letting a photog in there to take those pics the photog gave some rights to the Panthers to use the photos.Duncan Kinneyhttp://duncankinney.comnoreply@blogger.com
