Description Where: Hicklinge, Sweden
What: Lake
When: October 2016, 9.07am
With What: Hasselblad 555ELD & CFV II, Zeiss 80mm C Lens, tripod, 80th Sec, f5.6, iso 100 with Hahnel Giga T Pro with DIY modified cable and remote.

A quick jaunt outside to walk the dog and test my new cable for the Hasselblad 555ELD went swimmingly. Literally.

I looked out of the window to see the morning started with a lovely mist and calm weather so I thought what better time to go walk the dog near the swimming area at Hicklinge in Sweden. I had just finished the modification of the Hahne Giga T Pro remote cable for the Hasselblad so packed up the camera equipment and off we went.

It only took a few minutes to get to the lake car park but the mist had already started clearing. So with my rushing to get out of the car the dog was more excited than normal. He started running everywhere and sniffing everything at once. I got my equipment out of the car and locked it, turned around to head toward the lake and realised that Fletcher had gone.

Normally he waits for me to faff around and then follows me in the direction I’m walking, but this time he must have sniffed something interesting because he was nowhere to be seen.
I spent a while setting up the camera, cable, remote and my position for the shot. Fletcher still had not returned, I was not worried but I was wondering where he was.

I took a few test shots with the remote and everything was working well but then started to get worried as at least 20 minutes had gone by and I had not seen him. I went off to look for him. After 15 minutes hunting for him it slowly dawned on me that he had not gone anywhere. I was so absorbed in what I was doing and he was moving around to fast that every time I looked in a particular direction I assumed the dog was, he was actually behind me.

I saw a flash of a tail behind a rock in the water and went after him wading though the water to tell him off.. He popped up to look at me as if to say “whats up” and I looked at him with my most withering stare as if to say “where the hell have you been”.
Neither of us winning the silent argument. All the while I’m taking shots of the exchange an this is one of the resulting pictures.

I hope you like it.

Thank you so much.
He really is. The amount of emotions he expresses, even in a morning, baffles me. It's the hard stare at me that must frustrate him the most, looking at me trying to talk to me with his mind and I'm looking at him with a blank stare back thinking I wonder what he wants me to do now.
