In the months leading up to the first Gun Dog Challenge of the year, there isn’t a whole lot of time to think about photography. When you are the one responsible for making the show happen, there are a lot of factors to think about other than pictures of the event. Still, I find that good images are the best marketing tool for any event, so I do make an effort to grab a few while the event is going on. It also allows me to walk the field and see how things are going.
On March 18, the Greater Southeast MI chapter of RGS held its annual Gun Dog Challenge. It was a slick snowy wet morning, but the show must go on. Despite having to make several changes to the schedule, we pushed through and made it happen. Given the juggling of the morning schedule, I was not able to grab too many images. I did try to get some video, and now I need to figure out what to do with it. I can shoot video, but I really am pretty dumb at editing it.
The weather cleared by afternoon, and I was able to be in the field a little more. By the end of the day, spirits were up, and it appeared that everyone had a great time.
Because this is “my” event, all digital images are just $5. And, all money made from this event will go back into the Gun Dog Challenge coffers to help make these events possible. Don’t be shy…
