Digital cameras are fun, but I think I might be a photography Luddite.


There's no law that says you can't enjoy using both, eh?

Digital cameras have come a tremendously long way, and if used well (and
if it's a high end piece of equipment) can outdo any SLR, especially in
low light situations. Go check out www.nolanddogart.com.

Yup. To outperform a digital SLR these days, it takes a medium or
large format camera (Mamiya, Hasselblad, etc.), which are usually much
more expensive and require substantially more expertise to operate.

In other words, in order to get *my* digital SLR, "you'll have to pry
it from my cold, dead hands..."

Noland takes some great shots! Even of black dogs!

She just switched to digital within the past couple of years. Mind you,
she's been a professional photographer and artist for much longer than
that. But she now loves her digital. She photos agility trials, many of
which are inside and trust me, no SLR can touch her indoor pictures for
light and clarity. Yet she can still get stunning artistic effects.
However, it's important to note that she uses big lenses just like you
do with an SLR. She didn't get her camera at Wal-Mart.

Well, you know, don't credit the equipment too much. My
favorite sleddog photographer (also does outstanding wedding
work) also plays with a pinhole camera with very good
results (http://www.heathsandall.com).

Cool site, great photos. I spied Cala on the Doberman Specialty album.

Boy you Dobie folks are tough as it looks like the course designer put
quicksand, cleverly disguised as grass, at the base of the A-Frame

at your feet.

That's maybe the best part about using digital SLRs. You get to use
the same great lenses from your film camera counterpart (which is why
I stuck with Canon).

I believe she uses Canon too. I know she was saving up for a lens that
was something like $4,000.

Hah. That's her contact. And at that moment she was so determined that
she *had* the contact she was driving her nose into the ground and snorting.

Yup.

If you went through the dogsledding photographs, that one of
JayJ is awfully manipulative but it's also awfully good at
being awfully manipulative. "John and Zoya" are John
Schandelmeier and Zoya DeNure, a married couple who are both
well-known mushers and who've over the past few years
dedicated themselves to rehabilitating rescued sleddogs. It
was Sandall who took the widely-circulated picture of
Schandelmeier swapping one of his rescue dogs into lead a
few miles from Fairbanks in the Yukon Quest last year, so
that a rescue dog could lead the team over the finish line.

He also did the photos for the Gin-Gin 120, at
http://www.dogsleddenali.com/GinGinPhotos.htm . Dogsledding
photography tends to end up being kind of like yearbook
photography - get a snap of each team as they pass. He does
a nice job of catching quite a bit more.
