Westminster 2009 NYC Madison Square Garden

[RayLarson]

Spent Monday & Tuesday at the Westminster Dog Show along with my wife and 2 All Access Photo Passes. What a rush, lots of great photos and lots of excitement. Got to meet photogs from all the major newspapers and magazines in the US and abroad.

Here is the Photo Pit we were in:

It was quite the experience for us amateurs (working as pros). 2 Days 8am to 11pm in the Garden. We were treated like royalty by the Westminster staff and came away with some great pictures and wonderful memories.

Thanks for looking :barb

thanks so much for sharing these great shots.

Certainly my pleasure. The knowledge I have gained here helped me to produce them.

Thanks Harry. I have no fast glass (except for my Siggy 50-150 f2.8) The majority of these were taken with a Nikkor 18-200 f3.5-5.6. Hopefully by next year I will have some faster lenses.

Thanks again for looking and for your comments. :barb
