Stoked About the B-Day!

Hey guys! So guess what was yesterday?? That's right, by birthday! It's okay if you guys forgot, nobody really remembered anyways.... On another note, I got some sweet presents that both help in hockey and photography, so I thought, "Hey, maybe I could blog about this stuff!". So here it is, my blog post on some of the stuff I got! Now I have to tell you, these are only a few of the things I've gotten so far, so I'll most likely edit this post later to add in the presents I still haven't opened yet. So here are a few things I've received and I can't wait to use them!

Hockey Shooting Tiles:
I've been wanting these things for a while, and now I finally have them. So I'm hoping you all know you don't play hockey on concrete, you play it on ice... So for off-ice training and shooting, hockey players need to train as if they were on ice, and these shooting tiles do just that. You can take these anywhere and they feel like you're actually shooting on ice. You can get these all over the internet, but I got mine (I'm pretty sure) on Hockey Shot, which has a ton of great stuff for off-ice training.

Lens Hood Accessories:
These are very common in photography and I'm very glad I got one. Basically, lens hoods block out the unwanted sun so you don't have any lens glare or flare. So I got a tulip lens hood and a rubber lens hood. These both serve the same purpose, although the rubber hood seems to block out more light. These are quite useful and I'm glad I can add these to my collection of camera accessories.

My new tulip lens hood!!

Bauer Nexus 800 Gloves:
There's not much to talk about here; I had these gloves before, I just needed a new pair because mine were getting too small and had holes. Bottom line: I got new hockey gloves that are niceeee.

Filters/Cleaning Stuff:
Last camera thing for this post; I got three new filters for my lenses, plus a cleaning kit as well. The filters are UV, CPL and ND. UV is obviously ultra violet, CPL is Circular Polarizer Filter and ND is neutral density. These all help in photography and I can't wait to see how much they help.

So those are the presents I've received so far, soooo hopefully I'll be able to show you guys some of my stuff in action! If some of you are like, "Wow, he's just showing off the stuff he got and showing off the money his parents have" I must tell you, I'M NOT TRYING TO SHOW IT OFF. I just want to show you guys some of the stuff I will be using in the near future, and it's much easier to just tell you what I used instead of describing what it is and wasting time during that post. So if I bring these items up in later posts, you will immediately know what I'm talking about. This has been a sort of boring post, so I'll write about something exciting next time so I won't bore you to death. Well anyways, thanks for reading and remember, comments are appreciated!!
