Hamish and Bonnie
Mum, Bonnie, was exhausted after spending a manic 30 minutes or so training her puppies and, heck, what a racket they all made!Quite interesting to watch her chasing them and nipping their ankles, something to do with herding instincts being encouraged with practical demonstrations, I think.
This was taken during a lull in training. I'm not sure where Willow was but here's Hamish saying something like "Come on mum, that was great fun, let's play some more!".
It would have been even better if I'd got more of Bonnie's head in the shot but they were hard at it again before I could recompose. That said, I do like the softness in the image of Hamish and the way Bonnie's coat came out.

This site has really grabbed my interest. B and W photography is too much neglected.
Highton...nice shots. Great range of greys to blacks.

Well I am a lover of Black and White photos. They are so much more flattering in my eyes.I shall enjoy looking around this place, your place.
I see you are in my part (or near) of the world too *dance*
Of course, all the great people live this way!*smile*
...interesting shot. I love how you catch the moment--and black and white makes it more interesting. For some reason it seems my brain has to work a bit harder to decode black and white, which makes me think--maybe that is what adds to the interest--I don't know!!!
Thanks folks - it's always great to get comments and feedback.
@Dave I'm trying to put that right :)
@Dan My dodging and burning paid off then, thanks for noticing!
@SarahA Portsmouth/Plymouth -- a lot of people think they're the same place, doh!
& Kelly Maybe it's an analogy too far, but to me a lot of colour work is like candy, whereas a good b&w is like a meal.
In my own learning journey I can see the various influencing elements of a shot so much more easily in b&w. And in being able to see them so clearly, it's much easier to learn how they interact and contribute to a shot.
Or maybe it's just me ;)
