2011 "Fur Rondy" World Championship Spring Sled Dog Racing, Chester Creek Trail, Anchorage, Alaska<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a photo I shot last weekend during the 2011 Fur Rondy Sprint Sled Dog races here in Anchorage. Fortunately, the races go down the trail right by my house, so finding a good vantage point is as easy as hopping on my bike and pedaling for about five minutes.<\/p>\n

I really like the image for a number of reasons. The near-perfect synchronicity of the two lead dogs is something you can only hope to capture by firing off a burst of images as the team rockets on by.\u00a0It’s the kind of shot that happens so fast in a flurry of snow and motion that you don’t know if you actually got it until you look at the preview.<\/p>\n

It’s the kind of shot that, when I look at it later gets me thinking about what it takes to make a great image. Then I ran across a great post by Utah photographer Bret Edge<\/a> this morning that pretty much says it all. It doesn’t correlate perfectly to this kind of action shot, since Bret is primarily a landscape photographer, but it’s pretty universal advice with some, well thought out points. It can certainly put you on a path to making better images and improving your photography.<\/p>\n

Read Bret’s post\u00a0The Best Photography Advice I’ve Ever Received<\/a>, and then if you have some time, be sure and poke around this site for some of my own creative tips.<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy shooting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
