[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I know speed skating season is over since four months, but the pros already did start with their ice training again on indoor tracks like Heerenveen in the Netherlands, Calgary in Canada and Salt Lake City in the USA.
This shot of Dutch speed skater Gerard van Velde during his 1000 meter run I did take some years ago at the outdoor track of Inzell in Bayern, South-Germany during A world Cup Event.

I did use a monopod for this shot


Eisstadion Inzell (also known as Ludwig-Schwabl-Stadion) is a stadium located in Inzell, Germany, best-known as a speed skating venue. It is an outdoor, artificial ice, rink, located 690 metres (2,264 feet) above sea level and has a capacity of 20,000 people. Since its opening towards the end of 1965, more than 80 world records in speed skating have been broken here, and until the advent of speed skating arenas, it was known as the fastest European speed skating rink, second in the world after the Medeo rink.

The stadium is also used for ice hockey, ice speedway, and (in the summer months) roller skating.



Thanks in advance for viewing and comments.
Have a great weekend.

Very Shot well DOne, excellent action photo . TFS

A difficult sot to get right Harry but you've done a great job here. The position of the skater kind of composes itself in a tight crop, great expression on his face, spot on focus and DOF, good work!
TFS,
Neil.

Good action shot.
Good DOF and timing, and most of all focus is good.

Hi Harry,
This is simply excellent. And I mean everything on the image. Don't care if the season is over or not, because it's always great to see such high-level photos, no matter if it's summer or winter. Cheerz from Hungary.

Excellent sports action shot! Good detail and and sharpness of subject and blurred background makes him really stand out. This appears to be a really good lens. Am I right?
