I think these fit more in here that in "Sports" or "People"...

We just happened to be driving past and saw this little event going on, couldn't resist taking shots with the 70-200. Used AI servo AF most of the time, but should really have got the hang of swapping AF points. I was happy with the shots though.

Its making me all nostalgic for One Man and His Dog! "Come by. come by - away!"

Watch this thread take a life of its own about OMAHD and confuse the life out of the American members! :D

The shepherd was telling us that there's basically four commands used to control the dogs - left, right, stop, go.

We're pretty sure that we heard lots more words used, especially when the sheep missed the gates...!

So if we could train them to press pedals and hold a steering wheel................;)
