Ever have this happen
This Morning while I was taking pictures, I was in a space I thought I had all to myself....I was down under a road back in the wilderness and it was so nice and quite...then all the sudden out of no where comes this dog.......right in the middle of my exposure....he ran infront of the camera and drank some water then just stood up and looked at me.....very very strange....the lighting was pretty bad because of the time of day and the shade cover from the trees but I thought I would share the photographic proof of my experience

THis is pretty cool. the colors are a little off, but the effect with the ghost image of the dog is pretty cool.

Darren, this is hilarious and also a bit eerie to view! No, I've never had this happen to me but since I don't do a lot of long exposure shots it's not as likely to happen to me.

The dog's got a collar and tags so his owner must have been pretty close by. At least it wasn't a pack of feral dogs!

No, but I read about it somewhere...

Haha. This last weekend I was setting up a shot up in Ice Lakes Basin in Colorado at predawn time. I was under my dark cloth and for some reason I had the feeling of being watched. I looked around and right behind me was a big old hound dog with droopy cheeks just sitting there silently staring at me. Pretty odd.
