I see Ewe
In addition to my photography obsession, I also train and trial Border Collies in sheepdog trials. I love shooting the dogs working, and at trials I'm constantly challanged to try and get the best shots, great fun, and really rewarding when you get a good one ;-) Here are a few shots I've taken at home. Hope you enjoy them.
Betty This one was a lucky catch, I have no idea what made this ewe turn and look at me, but it made for an interesting shot I think.  Spree on the drive.  Spree and a single  Cooling off in the tub.

Thank you ;-) I love to shoot the dogs working, and it's really fun, when you have what we call a 'stylish dog' (which my Spree is) to shoot. Stylish meaning more eye, low moving, precise flanks etc..I'm really working on getting some great shots at some of the trials I attend, I've gotten a few good ones (god I take a million;-) ) but I've not quite broke the code on which camera to use (I have 3 Olympus) and which lens, to get consistantly good shots. I'm hoping I'll get a lot of good tips from this site. Some of the shots I've seen on here have really inspired me! ;-)

Thanks! We live in South central Texas, right outside San Antonio. It's pretty nice out here, we like it ;-) and yep, I love Border Collies too, I have six of them! I've always liked that shot of Spree in the tub, she looks like one hard workin' gal ;-) |
