Juddabug Whippets

I have the f4 without IS. And I love it! At 8 frames per second I've not had any issues. If you go to our club Facebook page, Click here most of the race shots are shot with it. All my 52wk dog shots like the beach ones are taken with it, I rarely use the 50mm. I love it and am pleased I didn't spend double the money on the f2.8.

So sorry to read this! Huge hugs. RIP Sophie xxx

.... Waits patiently .....

I have the f4 70-200mm.... If I had the f2.8 I wouldn't be getting rid of it!

Yeah, I kinda want something like a 17-70mm and a 100-400. Yeah if I got the big one, I could sell the 70-200.... Ahhh we can dream!

Hi there, I have two whippets who have recently started scrapping. Monet is 6yrs old and Diva is almost two. Both girls are desexed and we've had Monet for 18mths and Diva for nearly 8mths with absolutely no issues. Over the past few weeks when all the dogs (4) are playing in the backyard and doing zoomies, Monet will stand to the side and bark. Diva will leave her game of chasey or tug and rush Monet. They will both be low growling and posturing, head as high as it can go, 4 feet square on the ground, hackles up and usually ends with Diva licking Monet's face. This normally lasts less than 1 minute then it all goes back to normal. Usually we'd only see this once per day and only when in an excited state. The last three days during the same actions (always happens when we go outside to see the dogs) of playing the girls have stepped it up to some snapping as well. No contact is made and it is over before it starts. Today it has escalated to Monet grabbing a hold of the side of Divas face, no skin broken. They didn't listen to me and when Monet let go, Diva went at her. You could hear teeth clashing, lots of growling. It took me to run to the hose and blast the hose to get them to separate. Only injuries are a puncture to one ear each! They have since snuggled up on the couch, eaten side by side (as they always do) but just before when Monet went to jump on the couch, Diva started growling at her and I worry it could escalate again. So I guess I want to know what the best way is to progress from here, as I don't want it to escalate, it was scary to witness. Our other dogs are boys, one desexed, the other is 6mths old and both snuggle up to either or both girls in a big pile. I see it as Diva wanting to be the dominant dog. Monet is currently in that spot and she does not want to back down. Any tips or advice much appreciated and also your own experiences. Sorry it is long winded. MnDM

Frig! That is stunning! But a flatworm... Eek lol

Wow! I love the Toetoe grass shot! Makes me miss NZ!

Geesh, don't you just have the most awesome subjects! So jealous!

Love your moon shot kja!

Change it to 85mm and go pick up the 50mm at Teds :) I know! I'm no help huh!

These photos are stunning! Loving Mitchy! How are you finding the new D700? Can't wait to see more photos MnDM

Love hearing about these boys and seeing the photos and the generosity of the DOLers! So heartwarming! Can't wait to see them in a bed of teddy snow too! :)

They have certainly had all their prayers answered that's for sure! They deserve to be spoilt though!

Awww, those pups are just the sweetest! fable is cute!

TLC - those scarves and coat look cozy. All the photos were taken with my 70-200mm f4 lens, incl the close up of Monet! She doesn't like it when I use the 50mm right in her face... The longer lens gets me more natural shots of her :)

Awww, so glad to see photos! As for whippies and *whispers* soft toys.... Hells yes my guys love em! (hence the whispering). My two I crate at night both have a large toy they snuggle up to in their crates! Any teddies are de-stuffed but they love carrying them around!

I second gapvic! Any thoughts on my 'paws' photo!? It is as I took it, no editing besides the watermark.. should I have? MnDM

OMG, cuteness overload! I couldn't view the slideshow on my iPad, but am now on the iMac and now I can see what everyone is cooing over! Very, very cute!
