    My very first paid event!

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    I was booked to do a charity fund raiser for a Cairn Terrier Rescue that took place during a local field trial event.

    It went really well, but I still learned a lot about what to do differently next time.

    At the end of the day we were exhausted, but convinced that we can actually do this for money now.

    We had 18 sessions from the 23 dogs that were at the field trials.
    This is one of my favorites from the day.

    I used a combination of flash and a "shop light" that I tinkered with and added a 150 Watt daylight balanced florescent bulb to for lighting.

    Camera Make: NIKON CORPORATION
    Camera Model: NIKON D3
    Image Date: 2008:05:24 13:35:24
    Flash Used: Yes (Manual, return light detected)
    Focal Length: 50.0mm (35mm equivalent: 50mm)
    Exposure Time: 0.017 s (1/60)
    Aperture: f/5.6
    ISO equiv: 400
    White Balance: Auto
    Metering Mode: Matrix
    Exposure: aperture priority (semi-auto)
