Getting the skier and the dog in the same frame was a challenge...
because sometimes they were moving at different speeds...
My personal favorite. These two were going the same speed, FAST...
Slow and steady wins the race...

Skijoring Loppet 2009
The City of Lakes Loppet was this weekend and I photographed several of the races. These images are from the Skijoring Loppet. Skijoring is a relatively new and rapidly growing sport combining cross country skiing and dog sledding. I used a photography technique called panning to get these images...

Great pics, I had no idea that was going on or I would have went down to the chain after checking out the Art Shanties.
Great shots. You got that panning down. I've tried but always end up using too high shutter speeds because I'm afraid the moving subject will be blurred. I don't really note much blur if any on yours.
@Conner - Thank you.
@Snapshutter - I've found 1/50 second to be a good speed for most panning. The slower you go the more dramatic. 1/30 is even better but more difficult to get keepers.
Pan with your hips not your arms. Keep your arms steady and turn with your hips instead.
This won't actually have effect, I suppose like this.
