Long-Dangerous Tails

The WDA is having another calendar contest.  Alta-Tollhaus photogs that are WDA members need to blast the judging panel with your great photos.

This is the official info:

The GSDCA-WDA office is accepting photo submissions for the official 2011 GSDCA-WDA calendar.  An independent panel will judge the entries.  Some of the top entries will be published in the GSDCA-WDA The Complete German Shepherd Dog and 12 winners will see their dogs in the 2011 calendar.

Here are the requirements:

• Send photo submissions to wdaphotocontest@gmail.com
• You can only submit photos that you have taken yourself (copyright law)
• All entries must be received by 30 April, 2010
• Minimum of 300 dpi of an 8 x 10 image
• Please do NOT include your dog’s name or any other identifying labels
• Please do include your contact information including WDA membership #
• All participants must be current members of GSDCA-WDA in good standing
• No professional photos please. We are looking for candid photos of your dog(s)

The twelve winning contestants will receive a free copy of the calendar. The calendar will be available for sale later in the year.

By entering your photos in the contest, you, the photographer, give GSDCA-WDA explicit permission to publish, distribute and reproduce your photo for commercial or any other reason in any GSDCA-WDA publication.

I think the “No professional photos please” means no official show photos of your dog(s). There were professional photogs that were entered in last year’s contest. If you enter a photo, I would probably recommend not signing it, especially if your normal signature includes “24kPhoto!”

I live with a flock of turkeys and a flying buck! It was worth sitting in wet grass this morning to get the closeups of the turkeys.

I was not expecting this buck to come flying through. The light was very low so I had to boost the ISO up to 3200 in order to get the shots. The pix could have been better, but I’m sharing them anyway.

You don’t think that we girls read this blog? You’d better take that pitter-pattering heart somewhere else!

Now if you’d like one of these dudes, take your pick!

As you can see, we have plenty for you to choose…

Just stay away from ZIGGY!!!

A huge Thank You to Julie, Chris and Lies. After all your advice I set the camera to 100% manual settings and overexposed two stops. Here are the results so far. I am much happier with these shots and will hopefully continue to improve.



And one final shot – not perfectly focused but a fun shot none the less!
