Dog Show - Aussies, Akitas, Huskies and some!

[SharkBait]

Long time since I last posted! How is everyone? I attended a local dog recently and since you guys love some dog pictures I thought I'd share them with you.
I absolutely loved the Australian Shepherds, particularly the blue merle guy Chile!









My favourite dog of the day! Chile the Aussie

WOW!! You probably vanished from Chaz before I joined, because I don't recognize your username/photography, but I am GLAD you're back. Please stick around and post more - I love your photos.

Was at a dog show a week ago and really wishing I had a wide angle/mid-range zoom lens that wasn't so ultrawide (had a 11-16mm on me). Now I really want one

I really like these especially:





Oh, and this... both the dog and the boy Good looking SO! http://www.flickr.com/photos/tinyspa...57632625602761

Yeah, gosh it's really been so long since I've posted regularly here. I was much more active when my dog Matisse was a puppy, up until he was about 3. And he's 5 now, so it really HAS been a while!

Oh and thanks so much!
I just checked out some of your previous photo threads - looks like you're very much into photography yourself! Spotted some lovely photos, I love the one in your signature! Gorgeous dog.

What camera and equipment do you use? I have a 11-16mm lens too, is yours the Tokina f/2.8? Fun lens, but like you said the mid-range is pretty useful - I used a Tamron f/2.8 17-50 for the majority of these shots, then whipped out the big one for some of the pictures of the dogs in the ring. It's a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8, I bought it earlier this year but I've only used it about 4 times so it's about time I go to the zoo or something to put it to good use!

Haha, why thank you! I'll have to tell him he received a compliment from a Chazzer!

Oh geez, thank you for being so nice!! I just got a DSLR a little over half a year ago and holy crow is it a crazy addiction. I told myself just one body, the kit lens, and that is all I'll ever need.



Still just learning how to use the camera and taking snapshots. The photographers here on Chaz have been incredible as far as helping me along and providing inspiration/motivation.

Yep, just picked up a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. Was not planning to get it because I don't typically do landscape or architecture or astrophotography, but it was too good of a deal... or so I tell myself.

I was actually hoping to get a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, but now that you mention it, I had no idea they also made a 17-50mm! I'll have to keep an eye out for that one, too, and see which focal length range I prefer. I love my primes, but really enjoy the versatility of a zoom lens, especially for dog shows and events.

It means more from a Chazzer - it takes a lot to distract us from the dogs
