Some may remember shots from this event last year but my wife and I made it out again today for this years event. It will be two parts, first remote shots from a Mark IIN mounted on a plate and fired remotely. The second group were shot with a hand held camera.

Nice work. I think this sport looks like a ton of fun. If my body weren't so fragile I'd take it up.

Great shots! Looks like there were a lot of happy dogs there.

[Spearing Machine]

Excellent job documenting a unique event, Dan!! Pretty neat to see so many different breeds of dogs competing.

Looks like everyone - man and beast - was having fun! Very nice!

That would be fun to photograph. Really nice series. All the exposures look dead on.

Nice stuff as always!

Great job. I love the pictures of the non-traditional pullers. Maybe it's time to get my wife's cockapoo out there!

[ShawnZ]

Very professional looking results sir!

You covered the event from some great angles, even better than last year imo, #6 or#7 look like front page news images. Sweet stuff.

[Canon Guy]

incredible work!

Nice shots. I think I do recall the shots from last year, and if I do there was some real nice night shots in there. The action in #6- part 2 is great. The snow is a fly'n from the dogs.

Thanks everyone for the comments, fun event to attend. Makes taking pictures easy!

[Swimmer]

Looks like a fun event Dan. And the images are top notch as usual.

Looks like tons of fun. I wish I could have been there, I've been trying to teach my lab this trick. It has been fun and frustrating. Just like last year, I'm a big fan of the remote shots. I love the angle and the FOV. Truly a dogs eye view of the event. Great work!

[Scott M]

I gotta put my lab to work dangit!

I've been training my lab all winter to do this. Take a hunting dog that is trained to heel and tell him its ok to run, not only ok but required! He is starting to get used to the fact when his skijoring harness is put on it is a whole different set of rules! If you are interested in doing this with your dog Three Rivers Parks hold classes each winter on the basics. I would highly recommend going through one to get started.

If I get up there next winter, I'll have to go out with you and your lab and get some shots of the 2 of you in action.
