A couple of welsh springers share their house with us and I had them out in fresh snow this morning. They do love it if someone is out with them. They have a really beat up socer ball they push and chase around. The D3 was set as follows: focus C with release + focus. Focus tracking was normal but I left the focus selector on single and had the shutter set at Cl. Aperture prioity for all shots. All shots have had some slight levels adustment and they have been cropped but there is no sharpening. These are .jpgs essentially out of the camera except as noted. On 1 Feb we awoke to 7 more inches of snow. I took the dogs out with the M8 and the 50mm f2 Planar.
