Lens and settings on the first one?

 

[mangtarn]

Canon EF 75-300 f/4.5-5.6
f/5
1/500
ISO 2500

i don't know what else you want to know. it's all in the exif data, you can see it on flickr...

Not a pro at fishing out exif data from Flickr. If you set the shutter speed to 1/500 and ISO 2500, you still need to watch your metering because I presume f/5.0 is the maximum for 140mm zoom in that lens. And with Exposure bias set to +2/3EV, your metering would have shown it is even lower.

The reason I say this is because your shots look underexposed. The lighting looks pretty consistent in the arena: set your shutter speed to 1/500, aperture to the lowest it can go, and adjust your ISO until the shots look good. I suspect you'll need to go a little higher here with the high aperture.

you are absolutely correct, the exposure meter was blinking (low) the whole time i was shooting. This is my first time doing ice hockey so hopefully i'll be better next time haha
Thank you for your comment, appreciate it :thumbup:
