Rain rain rain

If you want to shoot events that are held outdoors, you'd best be prepared to be wet, cold and dirty a lot of the time. This week-end has been one of those times for me. It rained. And then it rained some more! And it's supposed to continue to rain for several more days. Oh joy.

My targets this week-end were agility dogs, a motorcycle fund raising "Ride for Dad" event in support of Prostate Cancer Research, and cattle penning. While I did get a few shots at each event, it was a great risk to my gear and some serious personal discomfort. it goes with the territory - but it would have been nice to get a few more shots. Oh well.

I shot the agility event just as the rain started...

Then, as the downpour began, I went and shot the Ride for Dad...

And finally, this morning, before the skies darkened too much, I headed to the cattle penning ring. That's enough wetness for one week-end. Now it's time for a bath, book and bed for a nap!


'til next time...
