Have I mentioned that shooting dogs is tricky? Shooting wolfdog puppies is even worse. Even though Kaira is 18 months old she is still very palyful and if you want to make her si still you´d better have something good in your pocket otherwise she will not look at you for more than few second. So what do I do, I set myself on knees and than I am waiting, when she finds out I am on to something, she qives me a quick look and at that very moment I have be perfectly ready because not even canon´s USM focusing is fast enough if you don´t do prefocusing. This I was lucky and got perfectly sharp image on Kaira´s eyes where I really wanted to. The composition could be a little better but I am happy to get at least this good result.
Visited Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary and spent some time with the locals. A really great experience and very educational.
Yes it is Kaira again, but this time it is photo from High Tatras in Slovakia.This is no HDR this is one shot photo.
This is Tundra again (90% Wolf/Dog cross): the center of attention as she checks out her surroundings at the local library. She likes to examine every place she visits, so although it doesn't look like it, a fairly wide aisle-way was left for her to traverse to the back of the room.
After the video and talk about the wolves, the spectators are given strict instructions not to talk or make noise at all while she is brought into the room. This is for Tundra's comfort levels, for otherwise she will not relax and will want to leave.
She was really well behaved and more relaxed on this visit than when we saw her first, around 6 1/2 years ago. Although she looks a bit rankled from an unexpected touch, in the next couple of frames, her expression relaxed and she looked more dog-like. I rather like her expression here though. Her wolf side is showing through, and she looks out of place.
May we treat wolves with the respect they deserve, and allow them to live in the wild where they long to be.

Switzerland is one of my favorite countries—and also one of the first I visited when I started traveling. This waterfall was one of the very first places I explored there, and I’ve returned many times since.
My early photos didn’t quite capture the raw power and beauty of this place. I’m grateful that I no longer hold back from photographing dogs in the way I truly love.
We hiked that afternoon with a pair of stunning wolfdogs, and this is Nymeria—the female of the group. Her white coat looked especially striking, almost glowing in the light. It was a hot day, but being so close to the waterfall gave us a free, refreshing shower thanks to its mist.
