Sunday Sunrise
I took the Nex 5 out for its first tripod-born mission on Sunday morning.

Needed a bit of crop-zooming to frame this but I liked the effect. Sony Nex 5 with SEL 18-55 from Raw.

One thing that I didn't expect to see were Llamas.

I hear that they make good guard-animals, often used for protecting chicken coups. I was perhaps having my leg pulled?

Re: Sunday Sunrise
I think that story is the truth. I have an acquaintance in British Columbia who has a rural home with a small number of farm animals (chickens and lambs) and a modest vegetable garden.Birma wrote:One thing that I didn't expect to see were Llamas.

For some years, he has had a llama that he obtained as a guard animal against coyotes and wolves, and he swears by its value for that purpose.

Re: Sunday Sunrise
I like those too Birma, especially the second one, sort of artsy period looking. I like the Llama one as well, I think they do the same here now in places where they have sheep, have a guard Llama, they bond with the sheep and protect the lambs from wild dogs and foxes, and apparently they do a really good job.

Re: Sunday Sunrise
Oooops, sorry Birma, forgot to tell you that I like the shots and very specially the second one. That one is very beautiful with its ethereal feeling. Well done buddy.
Re: Sunday Sunrise
Thanks Doc . I must admit that guard llamas do sound cool!

Re: Sunday Sunrise
Don't know about Llamas, but get a young donkey to grow up with your sheep/goat herd and they will kick to death any coyote/wild dog that attacks the herd.Birma wrote:

Nice, shots, BTW.

An a700, an a550 and couple of a580s, plus even more lenses (Zeiss included!).
Re: Sunday Sunrise
Thanks Dusty. I'll have to look out for donkeys as well

Re: Sunday Sunrise
Lovely colors Birma, it really pays off getting up early in the morning
.....it's all about timing"
Re: Sunday Sunrise
Thanks AA . I love it, once I'm out on location. Dawn is a fabulous time with the general lack of other human activity and the promise of a whole new day ahead. Sunday's are my favourite as there is also an absence of early commuter traffic. Just the dedicated dog walkers that I normally meet on my way back to the car. I'm not so good initially when the alarm goes off though - all too tempting to roll over and go back to sleep! Sunrise is just coming back into a do-able (for me) time as the autumn approaches - around 6.23 this Sunday - fingers crossed for good weather .
