These shots were taken this weekend at, what is quickly becoming, our annual camping trip at Fisherman’s Island. The dogs absolutely love it!
The better shots were taken with the Canon 5D MkII and the so so shots were taken with the Canon PowerShot D10, a waterproof camera I purchased after I dropped my previous point and shoot (ish) camera in the lake on the same trip last year. Obviously I had not got to grips with the settings by the time of the trip, but despite my almost obsessional addiction to taking the best shots I can, I refuse to take the ‘good camera’ anywhere near sand and/or waves.
“Where’s that Wubba?”
“Hey what you doin’ Niro? I swam out to get it!”
“OK, I’ll stand guard over the Floppy Disc then”
Major sun flare on this one but you get the idea.
This one’s a little dark but it was quite tricky getting the settings anywhere near correct for the darker foreground and brighter background without the help of a graduated neutral density filter.

That would be T, as in Turkeys! Or, maybe I should say that this is the Z Litter, as in Z, for Ziggy!
Mom travels with a companion who helps her protect the chicks. I just happened to see them cross the field heading to the shade of the woods. Soon all the moms and guardians will get together and travel as a large group. Since it was so hot I didn’t want to pressure mom by trying to get very close.

On Sunday Nikon had a photo shoot in lieu of a long down (sorry Ron!)

It sure was nice of Julie to go to work on those sunny days and leave me home with the Kits. Thank you, Mos, for sending Julie to work!
This little girl was very curious about me. There were 5 kits out this day. A few would come pretty close. There were a couple of males that would peek at me though the grasses.
Of course posing for all these pix can make one mighty hungry.

Black & reds of a different variety:
“Hey Julie! What do you think of my croup?!”
“Let’s give the human a show. Run and I’ll catch you!”
