Pioneer Peak

Canon 5D High ISO

My nephews and nieces were in a production of Scrooge in the Seattle area. I was in town on business, but did not bring my fast 70-200mm 2.8 lens. I decided to try the high ISO capabilities of the Canon 5D mark II. These were all shot at 12,800 ISO except the last one which was shot at 6400 ISO. The lighting was very challenging, but I like how they came out. These are straight out of Lightroom with no noise reduction.

Skijoring in Alaska

My wife and I own a Siberian Husky and enjoy taking him out on hikes, walks and runs. This winter we will be skijoring more. I have done some skijoring years ago when I lived in Fairbanks, but have not skied with a dog since moving to Wasilla. I have tried to include some scenic photos from the trail. These were taken with a point and shoot camera. Since this was the first time Donner and I were skiing together I did not want to take a chance with my 5D. I included a short video to show what fun it is to skijor.
