Blue Streak

Blue Streak, originally uploaded by tabrandt.

My middle son was hanging out at the Boy Scout Store, trying to earn his first aid merit badge and I was getting a bit tired of sitting around. I decided to see if anyone I knew was playing hockey just down the street at the Pettit National Ice Center.

Well, there wan't a hockey game happening but there was some speed skating time trials going on and although I did not have my higher end 40D with a fast lens I did have a camera with me and tried to get a couple of interesting shots. Most of them didn't turn out as the skaters were moving quite fast and my little point and shoot was not able to keep up but I was able to do a bit of panning and get a couple that I consider keepers.
