All shots are hand held. I do have mono pods, and tri pods, but I find that they hamper me a bit. I have now graduated to some really fast galss, 400mm f2.8, 300mm, f2.8, 70-200 f2.8, 85mm f1.8, so it is not such an issue anymore. When shooting the slower lenses, I found that shooting the players coming towards me, rather than across then lens worked better, and also shooting close, through the glass with a zoom wide open.

Do you hand hold these shots? I am just starting out photographing hockey and I am having trouble with slow lenses that are too short!

Thanks,
Presently I'm shooting with a Tamron 28mm - 300mm f3.5, and a Prostar 70-300 f3.5. My next step is to get a few faster lenses.
