Instagram turns everyone into a photographer by allowing the user to utalize very simple filters and editing tools on any photo that has been taken or uploaded to a mobile phone. Below is my current instagram feed:

The HD HERO2 is the most advanced GoPro camera, yet. To celebrate its release, GoPro traveled the world with some of their favorite athletes, adventurers, and filmmakers to see what we could capture and create with the HD HERO2. Learn more at GoPro.com

Hockey is such a fast paced game, and as a photographer you do not have the luxury of bright sunlight that outdoor sports have.  So you will need to adjust your camera settings to make sure your camera is able to handle the speed of the game, and the low light of the indoor arena.  Below I have listed which settings I use when shooting hockey games.

To get best results for Ice Hockey Photographs (or other indoor sports) typical settings should be:

• Manual Mode (M)
• Small-medium f-number (f/5.6)
• Shutter speed 1/500s
• ISO level 800 – 1600 (go with a higher ISO level if the lighting is poor)

Red Bull has launched a new campaign called Red Bull Launchpad. To help launch the campaign they put together this unreal video of a few clips of their athletes paired with M83′s Song – “Outro”.

About Launchpad
Launchpad is Red Bull’s way of giving wings to your ideas. In this contest, you’ll be asked to submit your own idea or vote for which ideas you want to see become real (or both!). Ideas will battle head-to-head in the Launchpad arena, with voters picking the ones they like best.

Over the competition, these ideas will be cut down to ten semi-finalists, and from those ten, the five favorites will get to present their ideas live to Red Bull judges in Santa Monica, CA. The judges’ votes will determine the one first-prize winner from these five finalists who will get to see their idea brought to life. The winner also gets to take home an additional $5,000 prize.

This past weekend a group of friends got together for our Annual Fredonia Hockey Winter Classic. I created a video of the event last year (click to check it out), and this year we wanted to step up the video and add two GoPro helmet cams, and a few other camera angels to produce something really unique (the final video has not been finished yet).

However, I was very excited to check out the footage from the GoPro Cameras and I quickly threw together a few clips in a short video. Aside from being washed up and needing to pick my head up more, I think it shows a unique point of view of the amazing game of hockey:

I have played ice hockey all of my life and will continue to do so until I am unable to lace them up. This ending scene of the series, which is shown below, sums up everything that is great about the game of ice hockey, and why I will always play. Learn more about 24/7.
