Dog Show
Eight-year-old Jordan Wingate, of Columbia, glances away from the judging ring as her poodle Ginger naps during the Best in Show judging at the Columbia Kennel Club Dog Show on March 14 at the Boone County Fairgrounds. Jordan and Ginger did not compete in the show.
Went to the dog show with the intention of working on my color correction assignment for Advanced Techniques. I started out using flash and blending techniques, and got some usable stuff, which I might blog later. But, it was mostly just frustrating me, so I decided to just enjoy the puppies, put my strobe away, and shoot for fun.
Jordan here was pretty antsy and bored during the Best in Show judging, and spent most of the time wandering around the rings. Her grandmother (at right), eyes glued to the dogs in the ring, was ignoring her and even her poodle was beat from a long day. I caught this quick expression which I think summed up her mood pretty well.
After the show, I felt compelled to introduce Chris to Christopher Guest’s classic movie, Best in Show.
