The dog's probably got a LHSA Special Edition M6 stashed in all that hair, ready to have a go back....

Captures the behind-the-scenes intensity of the high-stakes dog show world. My only constructive suggestion would be to crop out the bright lights along the top. Say about an inch, if this was a print.

Thanks guys. Expect a few more over the next couple of days.

Neil, I agree about the crop you suggest. This is full frame, so lots of data to play with.

Rolo, I don't think I'll be going again this year, I meant that I'll be spamming the forum with some of the shots I took this afternoon <grin>.

It's quite an expensive day. £8 for parking at the NEC, then £15 to get in for a day, plus petrol of course. Catering is at the usual 'popular' prices - popular with the management that is. But it's a good day out, with loads of photo ops. Crufts fills 5 halls at the NEC, and if there's anything related to dogs it'll be there.

I've now been for two years and both times I've gone on the 'toy and utility' day. Lots of shots of people preparing poodles.

There are currently a couple of additional shots in the people forum.

Thanks for looking.

Steve -

Excellent, but I'm surprised the "trimmers" aren't wearing gloves so that their hand oils do not in any way mat down the coat.

Looked at all the shots so far Steve. Great stuff.

I really want to make a visit myself, but have a big show to attend on Sunday and i've been preparing for 2 months, so nocando.

Went to FOCUS for wo days.

Parked the bike at the entrance to Atrium 2, no parking fee; half the petrol; twice as quick, no walk or bus ride.

You have to go again, it's a gold mine for images.
