I few weeks ago a friend of mine - a speed skater name Jenni Kukkonen - invited me to a practice to take some photos. They practice at the Olympic Oval at the University of Calgary. I have shot sports before but usually outside where there is lots of light. This was tricky because of the very low light. I had the ISO cranked to about 2500. I probably could have made it even higher. The pictures are pretty grainy but nonetheless it was great having a chance to try my skills in this type of environment.
The first bunch are Jenni, and below that are a few of the other skaters practicing:
