Randy,
I showed my wife that picture this morning.Please do not take a call from her today

Great looking pups,reminds me of the Black Lab Butterball we have now that runs this house along with the Chocolate.

Randy
I am very interested if I'm reading this right. Are they black or chocolate? Also, any interest in a 20 ga FW LC Smith Field for one? (Can't do a pair, already have 2 !!; wife is already on the fence.)

My email here at work is down for a few hours , but you can reach me at rcaron@ccsnh.edu.( I hear the pms don't work so well). If no luck, let me know on this post and we'll try another way.
thanks
Rick

And, if they are yours and I misread, enjoy!! They look great!

Rick, Thanks for the note. An e-mail to your address came back. Please email me directly and see if I can send a reply. Also, Phone number would help. Will send more photos,info tomorrow. Pups all black, Sire is black but has yellow and chocolate traits. Dam is yellow. Easy to ship by air, female flew in from MN. Name the dog Parker, Smitty, or Hugalu(sp) and I'll send $10 to Dave.

Beautiful pups. If I lived over there I would be very interested. I use two Chesapeakes; a breed that is rare here in Britain. Real characters though. Lagopus.....

I can't remember how much of our money my ex-wife spent on her matched pair, but I have to admit they were very cute puppies too!

RWTFOX...MR.Fox and daughter. Need to jump in and clarify a few things. Attached digital capture,10mp, stored as high resolution JPEG and Raw file. Photo or (foto) shown below reveals the "Sunny 16" exposure. Notice little detail in the dark (pups and black duck) and shadow areas. Exposure proper on the camo and other middle tones. Ambient exposure reading taken with Minolta hand held meter. BTW, Sun close to the horizon thus changing the light spectrum as the atmosphere is filtering out the blue rays leaving the strength of the yellow/orange to flood the image area. Poor choice for facial tones, but gives natural elements a soft warm look. Probably can be worked on in CS2 if it was a commercial project. Intended use of the photo was to bring detail into (black) pups, so opening up a stop and a half exposure gave detail in the pups, duck and shadow areas. Doing this raised the (over)exposure in the balance of the image. Now would be a good time to discuss your daughters critique as it relates (or not) to Ansel Adams. AA used large format NEGATIVE B&W film which has the greatest latitude of exposure of any film type. Positive or transparency film (slide) has a shallow exposure latitude, usually about 4-5 stops between dark and light ends of the exposure. And then there's digital. AA exposed his images using a spot meter recording the highlights and shadows and then calculating his camera settings,(aperature and shutter speed)using his famous Zone System of exposure. You should study Zone Five of his system, you'd be fascinated. The images taken by AA we see displayed in coffee table books and prints are the result of his genius in the darkroom and his mastery of dodging and burning, thus having control of detail in every corner of his image and final print.
Before you step in it again, Look around. Everyone may not be as braindead as you assume. A quote from someone, maybe you know the author?, Said.... "I may not be very smart, but the longer we talk, I'm going to find you stupid about something."
Fox, Please note this was a staged photo, props and attire were hastily put together, as I was not expecting sniper fire. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be more careful next time.
Want to discuss camo and hunting techniques, lets go OT and chat about trophy whitetails and big bears. No guides or high fences. Sorry, I'm not up to speed on all the literature, quitars, and motorcycles.
BTW, my beautiful wife took the photos.
Fox, Get in the game, enough heckling from the cheap seats.

Randy

Good Morning Randy, Now you get to hear from an old fart Dutchman and his aging Lab, who are licking their wounds from a tough 3 day grouse hunt. That little furball in your left hand is on the ball, right paw holding the junk around your neck from rattling around, and already zoomed in looking for the incomers to clear the tree tops. I am looking for a started pointing Lab to be my last grouse dog. Back in the '70's there was a Dr. VanC____ and his dad up in your neck of the woods who had pointing Labs and I have always wanted one. My old Lab, a field trail wash out with Lotte as his grandmother, and who has the best personality of all of our Labs over the last 40 years unfortunately is slowing down in the 'pat' woods so it is time to get him some support. Sex or color isn't important, a nice 'too close' hunting buddy is what would be just the ticket. If you know where I might find one let me know. I have a very minty, light weight, original early L.C. Smith Ideal Grade 28" 20 gauge with the push button forend latch that could be available, (NOT FOR SALE) or some fine bank note engraved art work with portraits of dead presidents to trade for a good hunting buddy. Thank You for your time. Life is Good, always treat it with respect!

Hello Again Randy, Well, no one has ever said this old fart Dutchman was amoung the smartest. I just noticed your e-mail address in an earlier post, so I will be in touch later this weekend. I have to get down to the local WallyWorld and get an archery target/block as I saw what looked like a nice long tined 8 point, albino up on my farm yesterday, so I am going to sit out with my crossbow up over the spring along with my new D300 and see if that potlicker is still chasing. (the D300 is also much smarter than I am) Not too sure I want to take him, I have been very fortunate to have taken some really nice, no fence, whitetails over the years with the best being a 151 5/8 BC and I am starting to realize the finality of the hunt when I smooth the feathers of ole ruff. I have followed a self imposted 'only shoot better than I have' rule for the past 15 years when hunting whitetails. Hunting buddies are welcome to take any they wish on our farm though. I rarely do limits on birds anymore, just take enough to keep my Lab and my palate happy. Take Care, give that sharpie on the left a pet job for me and I will be in touch. Life is Good!
