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 last year
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? You might want to try a pair of Glommitts, Glommitts are a combination of a glove and a mitten.
Glommitts will keep your hands warm when you're not using your camera and the top mitten part folds back to expose your fingers when you are taking a shot.
There are a lot of different makes and models. Just Goggle glommitts to find out where you can purchase them.
Glommitts can be found at most sporting good stores. I get a lot of my stuff at Cabela's online. Click on the Cabela's link and enter glommitts in the search field. Mine are a couple of years old so they may not carry the brand above anymore, but they probably have new and improved models.
