Gosh, what a frantically busy month I have had. Club judgings, talks, and I did the Queensland state dog agility trials with 2 friends, and had to sort out over 70,000 images, and process orders from there. Week later, more agility, and another 10,000 images (I only did a couple of hours!), then off to Atherton in north qld, for another back to back dog show, and some time with my sister. I took huey with me, but things just didn't really go to plan photography wise. I was hoping for some brolgas, but they were rather scarce, and often in fields too far away even for huey. However, I did come home with at least one shot I was very happy with. This was on a morning just after the fog lifted, and there was still dew in the grasses, and nice early light. Went back several mornings to see if I could get them again, but no luck.

Very pretty shot, Tina, in great light. Sorting through 80,000+ images? Not a quick task, good luck with it!

Absolutely beautiful. Love the "scene" (environment) along with the colors and sharpness.

Geez Tina, I think you need to slow down a bit haha. Nice shot, just enough catchlight in the eye.

thanks everyone.
.
Steve,10 frames per second, and each run lasts at least 30secs. While I don't shoot for the whole time, I do a fair bit of it, and it just racks up the images before you can say boo. 83 shots is say 10 seconds worth of shooting, and I do more than 10 seconds worth.
