  1. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, I love those shots! You caught a great series, and obviously a great moment in some young lady's life!

    And I think I'm now hooked on Lightroom presets. I blame you! :)

    1. she had to shake herself off for some reason during her turn at the streak. and there were a few others that did likewise later on. i just amuse myself to see what i'll end up with.

      presets are so handy. i'm not smart enough to create my own yet.

  2. Hahahaha, that's hilarious. And so perfect, actually. I don't think a lot of people realize that they do in fact have a goofy side. :)

    1. i went to look at my sequence to see what else she did, and, until she got to the very end, she kept looking to her left. a few steps before the end, she looked right. but never once did she run.

    1. after one greyhound owner on GT posted a picture of a grey shaking its whole body, i was very amused and told myself that i had to try and catch our girls doing it. the pictures i got of our two aren't as amusing as this sequence, or of one picture i got while during a session at dewey last year. you might have seen it. i posted it in this blog earlier.
