No gum either.
I've been working on making these trading cards for the guys on our hockey team. I made the template in photoshop and was able to get photos one night when I was out due to injury.

This is very cool - I am sure your team will love them.

Thanks Toad. I'm sure they will but there will be a few dissapointed guys. Not everyone showed up for that game. Maybe another day.

The template is fantastic, Colin. How well this gradiente works... the colors are very nice... I love the golden corner... It looks as if it were illuminated by the sun...

This is one of the games I know very little of... It must be very interesting to be there and take pictures of this game... I magine a lot of action involved...

Thanks Irma. The colours I used in the gradient are sampled from the logo. Taking photos of hockey in an arena are difficult. Fast lens needed. Most of my images came out blurred. I got maybe 35 so-so shots out of 120. I'll post more when I can.

Great job, pawderator! I'm waiting for the limited edition "Colin Perrin" one... heard that's a real collector's item...

Looks like there'll be a waiting list for that one. He broke a finger in last nights game.

Doh no way! Are you ok? Is it your shooting hand?

Left hand, index finger. I've already been going through 6 months hand therapy on the right from a work related accident. The finger is a fracture though. Not a clean break. so I can at least take pictures still. Looks like I'll be able to photograph nother game.

I am very sorry to hear this, Colin.

Hope you get well soon...

Great idea; I'm a bit of a duffer at getting photos to serve a people-based purpose, good for you. Am guessing the light keeps things at 1600?? Or do you have to squeeze a bit more too even?

Thanks Zig. I set the camera to sports mode as the exposure was always changing, so yes, I'm sure it picked a few at 3200.
