I was anxious to publish this set of Basilio, a superbe italian greyhound. I want to apologize to Louise, Basilio’s charming owner, for the delay, I am overwhelmed with pictures in my “production” line, a good problem I guess…

Here they are…

We did a short session, 15-20 min max., at a crazy pace. Kept the sun in back, dog constantly chasing the ball, good shutter speed, hard work

This dog agility is unreal, it really turns on a dime. It weight 8 pound only.

So, here the global setting, I keep the sun in my back and take my shots close to the ground.

It can run at speeds between 30 and 40 km/h, so fast for its size.

For those who don’t know, the “30″ is a road that will go around the Island of Montreal. To ease the never ending traffic problems.

Photo taken last week. More to come from that session.

Here we are at Melocheville , At least I think, on the other side, for sure it is “les Cèdres”, the dam on is the left side but out of the frame.

The path is clean up to the “20″.

Here is another picture taken with my Lensbaby composer and it’s macro kit.

It was taken on the burnt remains of a stolen car in a trail at Notre-Dame-de-l’Ile-Perrot.

Shortly after I bought my Lensbaby Composer, Biguelou, a super user on Flickr, told me about a promotion to get the “0.6x Wide Angle/Macro accessory Lens” for free. I received the kit within 2 weeks.

Ah, another reason to go in the woods with Rubis, let try this thing. The colors are at the rendez-vous.

Of course, this is not as sharp as my Sigma 105mm macro lens but it does have the sweet Lensbaby effect to it..

From time to time comes along a picture that is more satisfying then others, this is the case today.

Some would say it would make a nice postcard, other would like to use it for a puzzle, I will frame it…

This is one of the last Sugar shack of Notre-Dame-de-l’Ile-Perrot. As it is private, we never had the chance to try it out. Too bad, such a nice place.

If you happen to be the owner, don’t worry, I never went over the fence.

Another one of those nice walks with Rubis, at Notre-Dame-de-l’Ile-Perrot.

I did not have to push the processing on the cloud too much, the sky was scary that afternoon.
