Exercise time

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

This is the gravel pile outside our gate that Sahraa loves to run up and down. We had arranged that Tim would call me when they were approaching home so that I could get a few captures of her going crazy on it. I set the camera on multiple exposure and was waiting somewhat out of sight in the gate. Sahraa started running up the pile and I got a few captures, but she stopped dead at the top as soon as she (and Tim, actually) heard the camera shutter clicking away. That was the end of the game, and they came inside.

I did manage to get a few other images, but I discovered that when in motion like that, it really looks like she is doing something other than running (something I wouldn't photograph ;-)), so just decided to settle for this initial, more graceful, pose.

That does it...you need a camera with a silent shutter!

She's sure is raising the dust as she takes off.
