March Madness @ DCU

The DCU Center in Worcester, MA shined invitingly in the night skies as March Madness kicked off with a fine game of hockey!
Worcester Sharks vs. Providence Bruins!

Although the score was something to be desired with the Sharks losing 6-1, it was awesome! They had the Special Olympics Opening Ceremonies for MA as well which assisted in keeping the intermission periods short and exciting.

Providence's #23 David Krejci mastering the ice with Worcester's #11 Brady Leisenring trailing.

The puck dropped at 8PM and the game finished ~10:30PM. 2 1/2 hours and 417 pictures later... I've captured the memories for years to come! This is something to remember, with digital, as long as you have the right memory card, just keep taking pictures! It's not like film where if you take a bad shot you lose. The digital world makes it easier to take and take and take!


What do I mean by picking the right memory card? Well remember, if you want the freedom of taking a lot of pictures and not worrying about running out of space, then size is important. Go for the 2GB+ cards or more! They're pretty affordable now on all brands.

But there is something JUST as important if not more important. What's that you say? The SPEED of the memory card itself. I'd recommend purchasing a fast card (~80x minimum) so when you snap multiple pictures, perhaps using continuous-shooting or burst framing (holding the shutter button down for multiple shots consecutively), they get written to the card quickly allowing you to keep shooting. Look for this in your camera or the next camera you'll buy. It'll assist in those action shots you want to capture and will keep you in the field longer!

In the end, it's about you and what you're capturing. Get creative with your camera and come to understand it's capabilities. Have fun with it and keep shooting!

Worcester's #20, Riley Armstrong gaining control!

Check out the next game/events with the family this weekend!
