The boys had their last roller hockey game of the season last night.  I am always amazed by how much kids improve during the course of the season.  Ben is skating better and Ethan has decided he loves playing defense and has been making several good plays each game.

We brought our digital SLR and I played around with taking pictures in the terrible lighting at the rink.  In the end I found that playing with the manual settings while using our old telephoto lens was no match to using our newer fixed lens.  It boils down to having a big, fast lens inorder to capture as much light and detail with a fast shutter speed.

I also took some pictures of the girls.  Here’s the full gallery.  The lens I liked best was the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens which was used to take the clearest of the action shots and the close ups of the girls.  One of these days I’ll have the break down and buy a better telephoto.
