City of Lakes Skijoring Loppet - Minneapolis, MN

Dbl

[FONT=&quot]Some shots to just add some variety to the sports board! I shot the City of <st1:city w:st="on">Lakes Skijoring Loppet</st1:city> at Lake of the Isles in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Minneapolis</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">MN</st1:state></st1:place>. What a great day for it, warm and perfect weather.

For those interested I shot two cameras, one remote Mark IIN with 17-40 on a plate. The second was the 7D and 300/2.8. That might have been a bit long but I wanted some close action. I actually used the remote shots to stitch together a time-lapse of about 16 seconds.

#10 Remote shot




Forgive the odd angles on some of these but I wasn't planning on my camera or myself getting run over by dogs and skiers! I had to move it a couple of times while shooting the other camera and didn't have time to set everything straight and level, so some are a bit crooked.

I love these, great DOF and the colors are wonderful. I don't mind the angle at all. It adds a bit of interest. Would love to see more!

Fabulous exposures all around. Great use of DOF. I like them all but #7 really stands out for me.

Portlandpiratesfan - Thanks for the comments.

Mike J - Thanks as well, the 300 used up close gives you some nice DOF results.

Thanks tensai-riot, glad you found some joy in the photos. Quite a few of the dogs used dog booties, my own dog uses them!
