My Dog

Hi all,

Well, I finally picked up my 70-200 f2.8 VR yesterday afternoon and like every new toy, I couldn't wait for this morning to have a quick play before going to work. Some of you may have remembered me talking about purchasing a second hand one. Well, I didn't. I got one brand new in stead for $300 more. I just couldn't get my head around spending that much money on second hand and not knowing the history of it. Long story but I may continue next time at a mini meet.

Here is one of my first shots. It's my dog Chloe.

Open to improvements. PS. For those of you who are interested in buying a second hand 70-200 VR f2.8 by quick, Chris Wong from Whilton Camera Service at 251 Elizabeth St, Sydney ph 02 9267 8429 has it. Might be worth a try.

Here is the thread.

Gotta love a spaniel.

Any type of spaniel.

Even a King Charles. :)

Mind you, she looks too tall for a King Charles. Is she full King Charles or does she have something else in her?

Thanks,
Bill

That's still tall for a King Charles.

Gorgeous dog, great pose and moment, sharp and the DOF seems spot-on, great shot, love it...

Long legs though... Maybe it's just the angle???

Gotta love the puppies, there is something special about good pet shots and this is one of them.
