This is Spirit & Denali. they are both around 14 years old. He has a little touch of arthritis while she can run circles around most. She is the top one and he is laying down after she howled. She is the alpha of the two. She was quite comical today as we moved and played with them both in the pen. Their coats are thick and they have a glint of wild in their eyes.
We also took a few of Mariah from less than 9 feet away inside her pen. She was a tad more trusting and took several dog biscuits from me! When she lets me pet her, then I know she really trusts me. Here are the specs for the image:
Canon EOS-1D Mark II N, Shooting Date/Time: 11/1/2008 11:00:04, Shutter Speed 1/320Sec. Av(Aperture Value) F2.8, a little something different this time. Evaluative metering, Exposure Compensation +2/3, ISO 640, Lens: EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM, Focal Length: 300.0 mm. On the Gitzo Tripod with Wimberley 2 Head. Croped for a 9x12 with 98 % of frame here @ 9 feet away. 1 of 3 frames, then they got up.
