Hockey is one of the hardest sports to photograph - it's fast, it's dark, and it's behind glass.

Once aperture and shutter speed are locked where they need to be, ISO is what makes the exposure work even if that means climbing into the thousands under the lights.

Hockey is one of the hardest sports to shoot — fast, dark, and behind glass. You don’t need to be a pro, but the right gear and a real plan make all the difference. 🏒📸

Swipe through for exactly what I do rink-side: settings, gear worth investing in (or buying used), positioning, and the stuff nobody tells you — like why the glass is your biggest enemy. Save this one for game day. ⤵️

Comment “SEND THE LINK” to sign the petition and to watch the full investigation 🐄🥛 @animaljusticeproject have released the biggest undercover investigation ever filmed in the British dairy industry. Filmed over 12 months, across 13 counties and 16 Arla-supplying farms. What was found on these farms couldn’t be further from the adverts and labels the industry sells us. 360 alleged breaches. 140 cases of rough handling. 50 cases of severe lameness. Newborn calves taken from their mothers, one within 25 minutes of being born. Sick and downer cows abused and left without care for days. But even if a farm had no breaches, the core problem remains: the dairy industry uses and exploits cows. Arla will call the abuse the work of ‘bad workers’ or ‘bad farms’. But 16 farms say otherwise. It was never just one bad apple. vegan | vegan lifestyle | vegan principle | why I am vegan | vegan ethics #vegan #veganethics #veganlifestyle #veganlife
