🐾 CKC Scent Trial photos are ready!

Photos from the CKC Scent Trial in Brandon are now available for viewing — and this time, I’m trying something NEW!

Along with my usual RAW Image Slideshows, I’ve added Image Proofs for Trial 1 and Trial 2.

The proofs are low-resolution, unedited previews of the same images found in the slideshows, but now you can browse at your own pace, ❤️ favourite the ones you like, and even send me a note about a specific image.

So now you have a choice:

🎬 Watch the RAW Image Slideshows
🐾 Browse the Image Proofs
👀 Or use a little of both!

I’d love to know which way you prefer. This is a new system I’m testing, and your feedback will help me decide what works best for future events.

If you pre-registered for this gallery, check your email — there’s a little thank-you waiting for you. 🎁

And as always, if finding your dog or narrowing down your choices feels overwhelming, just ask. I’m happy to help!

The car is packed, the gear is ready, and tomorrow I’m off to the CKC Scent Detection Trial!

Looking forward to another day of dogs putting their noses to work while I do my best to stay quiet and out of the way.

🐾 UPCOMING PHOTO DAY — CKC SCENT DETECTION!

I’ll be heading to Brandon next Saturday, October 24, to photograph the CKC All Breed Scent Detection Trial at the WestRidge Community Centre.

Every dog entered will be photographed (unless instructed otherwise), with photographs available from single images to full packages, prints and custom photo products.

📸 NEW — REGISTER NOW & I’LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE SLIDESHOWS ARE READY!

Rather than having to watch Facebook and hope you catch my slideshow announcement, you can now register for the event gallery ahead of time.

Simply enter your email address and you’ll be notified when I release the gallery. No hunting for the post later!

🎥 REGISTER FOR THE EVENT GALLERY:
https://gallery.cdaumphotography.com/ckcscentdetectiontrial/

Once the gallery is released, you’ll be able to access the RAW Image Slideshows and see what was captured of your dog.

And when it comes time to choose, you don’t have to do it alone. I can help you find where your dog appears in the slideshow, help with your selections, or do the choosing for you.

🐾 TOP DOG orders also receive a dedicated slideshow featuring only your dog’s captures — making finding your favourites even easier.

See you in Brandon! 🐾

Honoured my image was featured on the Professional Photographers of Canada page. It's humbling how nature comes full circle. We all have our place 🥰

A pair of turkey vultures at work in their natural environment makes for a fascinating wildlife image. The rich earthy tones of the birds stand out beautifully against the soft layers of blue and warm neutral colours in the background. “Nature’s Clean-Up Crew” by Maker Candice Daum, CPA, scored Merit in the Animals Class at the 2026 Image Salon.

MGA SPRINTERPALOOZA — SLIDESHOWS ARE READY!
(Razor looks like I feel!)

With just over 100 dogs in each trial, there were a LOT of photographs to go through from Sprinterpalooza - Sep. 27, 2026! There's a little bit of everything - fast, fierce, funny and the occaisional "What the...?"

I’ve narrowed everything down to approximately 2,000 of the strongest captures from each trial. To make browsing a little more manageable, I’ve divided each trial into two parts, giving you four RAW Image Slideshows:

🐾 Morning Trial 1— Part A
🐾 Morning Trial 1 — Part B
🐾 Afternoon Trial 2 — Part A
🐾 Afternoon Trial 2 — Part B

🎥 VIEW THE SLIDESHOWS:
https://gallery.cdaumphotography.com/mgasprinterpaloozasep2026/

Need help finding your dog? I can help.

With this many dogs and photographs, I don’t expect you to sit through thousands of images, unless of course you want to. Message me with your dog’s name/breed type and I can give you a timestamp to help you jump to the section of the slideshow where your dog is running.

📷 A TIP WHEN MAKING YOUR SELECTIONS

Remember, these are RAW previews — not finished photographs. Don’t be too quick to pass over an image because it looks too dark, far away, or some of the detail is difficult to see.

Take a look at the sample edits and before/after images included with this post to see just how much can be brought out in the finished photograph.

When you’re browsing, pay more attention to your dog’s body shape, movement and expression. Cropping, exposure, colour and detail are my job once you’ve made your selections.

See something you love? Make note of the file number shown in the slideshow for your order.

🐾 WANT TO MAKE CHOOSING EVEN EASIER?

Order a TOP DOG package and I’ll create a dedicated slideshow just for your dog, bringing their captures together in one place so you don’t have to search through the event slideshows.

Want me to do it all? Choose CLASSIC and leave the selecting to me. I’ll find your dog, curate the strongest photographs and make the selections for you — you can just sit back and relax.

📝 How to place an order…

Please use the 2026 Order Form (I’ll put the link in comments). Package options are explained in the form.

And one little favour — if you know someone who participated but isn’t on Facebook, please send them the slideshow link so they have a chance to see what was captured for their dog too.

You can also find the galleries from all of my photographed events anytime through Find My Photos under the ‘Photography’ tab on my website.

Happy viewing — and if you need help finding your dog, please message me. I’m happy to point you in the right direction.

CKC FETCH TESTS — SLIDESHOWS ARE READY!

The RAW Image Slideshows from Saturday’s inaugural CKC FETCH Tests at Morrison Sports Park are ready for viewing!

There are two slideshows to browse:

🐾 FETCH — Test 1
🐾 FETCH — Test 2

🎥 VIEW THE SLIDESHOWS:
https://gallery.cdaumphotography.com/ckcfetchtests1and2slideshows/

Remember, the RAW Image Slideshows are a preview of what was captured — not what your finished photographs will look like.

I’ve included some finished photographs and before-and-after examples with this post so you can see what happens when an image goes from the original camera capture to the final edit. Every photograph ordered is individually edited from the original RAW file, including cropping, exposure, colour and all those little details that help bring out the best in the final image.

You’ll also find a Sample Images tab in the online gallery if you’d like to see more finished examples.

See something you love in the slideshows? Make note of the file number shown on the image for your order.

🐾 WANT TO MAKE CHOOSING EASIER?

Order a TOP DOG package and I’ll create a dedicated slideshow just for your dog, bringing their captures together in one place so you don’t have to search through the event slideshows.

Want me to do it all? Choose CLASSIC Selection and leave the decision making to me. I’ll find your dog, curate the strongest photographs and make the selections for you — you can just sit back and relax.

Already spotted a few must-haves? You can tell me those too, and I’ll take it from there.

📝 THINKING ABOUT PHOTOS?

The 2026 Order Form will be in the comments below. You can also use this form to ask questions and view the packages available.

Have fun looking through the slideshows — and if you need help finding your dog, just ask 😁
