Fur Rondy Crash

Published February 26, 2012 | By Mike Criss

I have had some close calls while photographing dog races before, but none as close as this. I was concentrating on the lead dogs and did not realize there was a crash until I went to photograph the musher and saw an empty sled.
I had my Canon 5D mark II on a tripod recording video and I was taking stills with my Canon 7D.

2012 Fur Rondy Dog Races

Published February 25, 2012 | By Mike Criss

Decided to take some images of the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous World Championship Sled Dog Race. Love getting shots of the lead dogs in mushing events. Had to settle in a good spot early.
