Do a custom white balance off something white that's in the playing area (NOT the ice). Get somebody to take a piece of paper out there pre-game and get your WB set and you'll be good to go.

Has been using the auto white balance for a long time now but would certainly custom for anything like this...

Subject: Anyone shoot hockey with their digital?
A friend at work(in our print department)has asked me to take some shots of his
young
lad playing hockey so that he can put a collage together for his wife as a Christmas
present. I have no
problem doing this as he has done a ton of favours for me at work.
I know my camera and the istD can do present WB for unusual situations, like this. Any
one have
experience at hockey. Do i set the preset from the ice or the general lighting from what
may be over
head. I'll be shooting Jpg and Raw,but i still dont have anything worthy of working with
Raw yet,nor
does our print department. May try Elements 3 or just buy the dam Nikon Capture for
$150.00.:-)
