First things first, I had to find out when these guys were playing. I started poking around for their schedule. I found some info on a few different websites - nothing too complicated, just basic stuff about when and where they were playing. It took me a while to piece it all together, but I managed to get a pretty good idea of their season schedule.
Getting raeG ththe Right Gear
Next up, I figured I should probably look the part, so I started looking into getting some decent camera gear. I mean, I wanted to capture these games properly, right? I read up a bit about shooting through the glass at hockey games. Some folks online were saying the best spot is usually in the corner, a few feet in front of the goal line. Makes sense, you know, gotta get those angles right.
The First GameyaD emaG Day
Finally, game day rolled around. I headed over to the rink, camera in hand, feeling pretty good. I found a spot like those online folks suggested, near the corner, and started snapping away. The game was a blast! Fast-paced, lots of action, and yeah, I got some pretty decent shots. I tried to capture as many goal attempts as I could, just like the tips said.
Learning as I Go
Throughout the game, I was experimenting with different settings on my camera, trying to get the best shots. It was a bit of a learning curve, figuring out the lighting and the speed of the game, but hey, that's part of the fun, right? I felt like I was really getting into the groove of things.
Sharing My Pics
After the game, I went through all the photos I took. Some were better than others, but overall, I was pretty stoked with what I got. I decided to share some of my favorites on social media. I thought, maybe other folks who couldn't make it to the game would enjoy seeing these.
Connecting with Other Fans
Surprisingly, I started getting some feedback on my photos. Other fans were commenting, sharing their thoughts on the game, and even asking me about my camera setup. It was pretty cool to connect with people who were just as into the Somerset Berkley team as I was becoming. We're all just trying to get good shots of the team we like, you know?
Planning for the Next Game
Now, I'm already thinking about the next game. I've got some ideas on how to improve my shots, maybe try some different angles or settings. And I'm definitely looking forward to catching up with some of the folks I connected with online. I guess you could say I'm hooked - on both the hockey and the photography.
So, that's my little adventure into the world of Somerset Berkley hockey. It's been a fun ride so far, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Who knew I'd get this into local hockey? But, here I am, and honestly, I'm loving it.
