Photo of the Week 2/8/10

While on a recent vacation in Breckenridge, Colorado, I went on a dog sledding expedition with a few friends. While not on the sled I took a few shots of the others in the group. I like this image of the team and sled turning a corner with Siberian Huskies, Cow and Caleb leading the pack with Cow's trademark tongue hanging to his right in particular. This image was captured using my Nikor 70-200mm f2.8 lens at 1/800th of a second at an aperture of f5.0 and ISO of 400.

Photo of the Week 2/1/10

While visiting some friends in Colorado, I captured this image of their dog Ruby lounging on my bed in the guest room. Ruby's expressive eyebrows and plaintive stare made this my choice for photo of the week. This image was made using my Nikor 50mm f1.4 lens at an exposure of 1/60th of a second and f2.2 at ISO of 100. As the scene was backlit, I used an SB900 flash bounced off the white wall behind me to provide additional illumination.
