Cessnock Dog Club's Power Sniffing Day

For scent work trial photography I almost always use my 600mm lens to make sure I am well out of the way.

The noses on our best friends are absolutely incredible and when they are focused in search mode the last thing I want to do is be a distraction.

On this occasion there was some rain and it was heartwarming to see the dedication of the dogs who cared little about the wet weather and only about sniffing out the primary scent.
