Sled Dog Photo Tips
This will be the second time at the Sled Dog Classic for me, here are some photo tips I learned from 2010
1. The best shots are taken with the Sled Dogs running toward you. Shots from the side are not as dramatic
2. Get down low at the dogs eye level.
3. Try and take some human interest shots of the dogs and their owners
4. Sled Dogs are cool, try and get some good portrait shots of them.
5. Try to capture the peak action.
6. Try to show how strong these animals are as they pull the sleds.
Well those are some of my tips, if anyone else has any tips to share, just click on "comments" below and leave your tips, comments and suggestions.
If you are going on the Sled Dog Classic Shoot or any cold weather shoot you want to keep your hands warm but still be able to use the controls on your camera so what do you do?
I'm going to try out my new Freehands Gloves, the index finger and thumb fold back so you can control the camera:
