Feelin' too pooped to be erratic.

Harley's Lab Maggie after a hike at Saddlebag Lake. This shot was taken near Tenaya Lake in July.

Chamonix 4x5
Schneider 210mm
Astia 100F

Enjoy!

Great image PB! I'm sure you've provided a high rez image for Mr. H.? ;-) And I'm guessing you got with without Ms. Maggie too. I like the filtered light on the slab. Nice one!

Great shot of Ms. Maggie here, Preston. Being a professional photog I'm assuming you got the proper release form signed, or / well, paw-stamped by the model....... :biggrin:

Thanks, guys! She was snoozing while I was setting up, so I had to call her when I was ready. I was afraid Maggie would move during the exposure (1/8s) but all she did was lift her head.

Lon: I dd not get a shot of these rocks without Maggie there--she stayed there snoozing the whole time Harley and I were poking around the area.

This is my first LF 'wildlife' shot, btw. :rolleyes: I'm glad it worked.

Lovely, Preston. The dog almost looks camouflaged. Its presence gives a good perspective
of the size of the rock. Good lighting--not too contrasty.
