Different styles

Sorry folks more photographs.

It is interesting that Sue looks at the whole thing from a different point of view to me. I wanted a new camera so that I could take better pictures of the alpacas. I am sure we have all walked around the fields and said 'If only I had the camera, look at that pose!' Or 'If only I was closer'. No? Course you have.

Sue, who used to be a keen photographer with the old wind on Pentax about lots of years ago has a different viewpoint, and has been experimenting with black and white shots. Very effectively I think.

The mad lab Josh for once being still.

Angus........................haircut due soon I think.

(left to right) Barney, Moselle, Alacazam (he is currently working undercover on the great alfalfa smuggling fiasco and he has been blacked out for security reasons) and Reggie.
I know too much shadow............the sun was low etc etc.

Orchard Blackjack, who is recovering nicely from his bout of Rickets. I'm quite proud of that shot. A black alpaca standing on a mound, in the sun and you can see his face. Who would have thought it. Very Incaesque.

Finally I caught Henry and Columbus playing musical statues. Couldn't quite work out what tune they were humming. I like the sheep in the background......well I don't actually know them that well but they do seem like a nice bunch.

Great shots - I want one of those fancy cameras. Everyone always comes running to me so I get noses all the time! As for the black alpacas mine are always working under cover too.
