I was at Lake Tekapo briefly this week.

Here’s what the view looked like from the top of Mount John.
It should be a great tournament.

Hey, Is that what I looked like last night when I was sent to the sin bin?

Gotta go get my skated sharpened..

I see just a thin strip of the photo…

I can do panos.  I have the software and a pano head that corrects for parallax.

This shot below I did on the fourth of July this past week.  It’s 19 photos stitched together..

Here’s a pano I did of the rink the first week I was here.  It’s not quite right so I want to do it again.  It would look more natural if you panned to view it.

There is a way to show 360 degree panos, I think you need flash which I don’t have.  I’ll do some home work and try to figure it out.  My stitching software does 360 panos and I thought it would be cool to make a stitch where looking down is center ice.

Ryan, why don’t I shoot the Beasts on Sunday before the first game?

It looks like Aaron is rubbing his nipples. Just what sort of show are you guys putting on?

I wonder Joe – I’m not a Beast – if, since we probably can’t stop you leaving through any legal means, if you might be willing to set up a time around a Thursday night practice when you’ll take photos of all players who are keen? I know a lot of people would be keen to have professional photos taken of them, and I’m sure the club could use them as well.

I would be more than happy to. I really enjoyed taking these and I’m quite keen to take more.  It only takes a minute or two per person.  I’ve already spoken to Anzee and Megan, I want to take some pics of them in their Ice Ferns Kit.

I’d like some ref portraits too.

[Joe]

Well I guess our family is doing a gap year then.  I forgot to pay the gapyear.com people though.  Maybe they will accept my photos in lieu of all the pounds they want.

For an advert about Auckland ice hockey, all the photos are of stampede vs devils.

And they’re all Joe’s photos too. Did they ask you to use those Joe?

wow.  how odd.  No they didn’t. What is “gap year”  Are they charging people to coach hockey?

[Joe]

Take 2

OK.

Can you pass onto them that if any of them want to play on either Saturday or Sunday night, to let me know ASAP.

kyle.matthews@otago.ac.nz or 021-113-0236.

I’ll report back after tonights practice.  Any idea when the A games will be scheduled?
I know a couple of juniors will want to play for sure but a date/time would help.

[Joe]

Kyle,
getting a commitment from juniors is a bit of a challenge and I surrender.

Put me and my son on the list for the A squad.

Joe

[Joe]

which one of the banned players is this?

“his pay is mondo, M-O-N-D-O mondo”

Yeah Ryan I know 101.  I won a pair of tickets to a WHL Vancouver Blazers game from 101 when I was about 12. It used to be called C-FUN.
