Sweet Home herding photos (from July 23rd/24th)...

The photos of the show Lucky Critters did down in Sweet Home, Oregon are up on the web now (drill into Saturday and Sunday folders to see additional sections and the photos for each dog). I shot all of the photos of the duck and cattle herding. 40 dogs. Long day! Lots of fun! Got to shoot with my own gear this time too...(already had my Nikon D70 and invested in a long 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens so now I have a capable camera/lens combo for doing sports photography like this).

Wendy also did some "job shadowing" at this show. She learned a bit about digital workflow (dumping the photos from Compact Flash, doing initial scrubbing, and cropping) as well as "selling" event photos to customers.

We're fortunate that Lucky Critters (Chris and Chalace) is willing to show us the ropes, and since they're moving out of the area soon - we'll be filling in for them on all future scheduled shows they've done! Whoo hoo! - awesome way to get our photo biz (In the Zone Photography) jump started.
