Roy - Jess looks a great character, and how fantastic to see her in her natural environment. Do you actual work her, or is she just from working stock? She looks very fit and active!

Jean

badlywornroy · 26-07-2011, 08:21

Thanks Jean, I appreciate your feedback.

No, we do not work her. I don't hold with shooting birds (or anything) for fun but yes she gets plenty of exercise here in the beautiful Yorkshire dales.

We also have a Labrador, Harris is 11 now and a senior citizen and Jess helps keep him fit and active.

That is stunning!

badlywornroy · 26-07-2011, 18:35

That is so kind, thank you Lisa. I love photographing my dogs (as you may notice) Can I show you more ?

Harris again.

More Harris.

Stop ! and smell the buttercups (my two dogs chilling out.

Ahhhh - I could look at these all day, Roy. I love the photos as well as the dogs. You could drown in Harris' eyes - they're so soulful.

I've got an extra soft spot for Labs, having had a couple of my own.

I just realized I need to take my dog out with the camera more often after seeing some of these amazing shots!
Since this is my first post Hi I'm Rob, I have a canon 550d with standard and 18-55 and a 55-200.
here's a pic of my Border collie. Can't up originals anywhere at the moment as i'm nowhere near my computer but can link

using £10 extension tube

realmofconfusion · 27-07-2011, 20:52

This is Bruno, a rescue dog from Yorkshire Rose Dog Rescue who I've had since 1st May 2011 after I lost my previous dog (Boz) in April to a liver tumour.

These shots were taken on holiday in Cornwall. This classic portrait is Bruno on a walk doing his best "look how handsome I am" face.

The second photo is a very wet and sandy Bruno having been on his first ever visit to a beach!

jeangenie · 27-07-2011, 21:13

Maria - Scrumpy looks cuter and cuter every time I see her picture!

Rob - hi and welcome

That's a beautiful border collie and the speckled markings remind me of my last BC. Lovely breed, and great fun to train and work with.

realmofconfusion: Bruno looks like a lively youngster who'll keep you busy. He'll be demanding holidays in Cornwall again, by the look of him. That's one happy dog. Lovely photos - you've really captured his personality.

Thanks! Canon 5dmkII and a canon 70-200 2.8 (non IS)

The only time I've been disappointed in the fps of the 5d. Lots of shots that were just out of focus on the eyes as the wee bugger was moving so fast.

I found it best to shoot as the dog was moving across me slightly rather than head on if that helps?

Hi Andrea.

What a beautiful collie - behaving exactly like a collie should! How old is he? It looks as though he's already settled and feeling at home with you. I'll look out for the two of you on our forest walks.

What a happy looking bunch.

You'd be hard pressed to get 6 people sitting on a bench and all laughing their socks off at the same time.

Great photos and lots of great characters. To the person that rescued the greyhound, thank you. I volunteered at the RSPCA shelter for three years during and after A Levels and there were four of them that had been there for over a year already and were still there when I left. Four of the most loveable dogs I have ever met.

I would post photos of my Molly but she will not, and I mean not, stay still for a photograph! She will tease and stay still until I am about to take the shot then the little cow always shakes her head or turns away

*edit* I forgot about these!

She is some weird mix of Terrier and whippet. Runs like something off a shovel and never get tired!

Great stuff folks - thanks for posting - although it makes me realise that time has caught up with Fingal - my current 12 year old Springer
