SSB this is a wonderful shot mate, did Roxy knock you over? As it looks as if she's heading right towards you at warp speed

No, thankfully she's got some brakes ... I was using a 135mm lens, so she's not as near as you think, maybe 8 feet, something like that.

Well this is exactly the theme I was gonna do... bah. I really have to get my thinking cap on and my lens cap off.

A very, very excellent shot, and easily my favourite.

Yeah.. I gotta be honest, I love this photo. Everything about it fantastic.

It makes me want to take my pooch out and shoot him too... not with a rifle of course!

Very nice SSB - lovely light temperature. Did you use autofocus or manual?

Do you have a full size version posted somewhere?
