hang dog

Every now and again I go out with my Mum and Dad and their (very spoilt) dog Bertie (AKA Tricky Woo.) He loves to dive into a local lake and I would really like to get a shot of him shaking himself dry with his jowls flying. Each time I do this I get closer to the shot I want, and this time I came closer than usual but the sun kept going in which meant I couldn't get a fast enough shutter speed - don't really like the results my camera produces below ISO 100.

Of course I dont know what he was thinking here but reckon it was somewhere along the lines of,
"please don't ask me to jump in that lake again, it's fffffreeeezing!"


actually, really he is watching the ball that my Dad is about to throw for him - he doesn't seem to feel the cold and will happily go in the lake when it is just starting to ice over
What a great portrait! I love his ears.

His expression is adorable... 'I'm not in trouble, am I?' Great focus!

Love that expression, he looks either as though he is in trouble and knows it or the thought of just get on with it is racing around in his head!
