A big thank you to Roger Bartram for the Crufts photos. I know from my own experience, it is very difficult to take photographs when both dog and bitches are judged simultaneously. You end up rushing from one ring to the other, franticaly trying to capture the moment. When it's busy ringside it can be logistically difficult to go back and forth in time. Roger managed to provide me with a photo of just about all (minus one) class winners, and I am very grateful to Roger for this great effort. As well as the rushing around taking photos, upon arriving at home on Crufts Afghan evening, Roger spent a lot of time sorting through the many photographs he had taken, identifying exhibits and emailing the photos so that I was able to post them the same day. Thanks again Roger for all the extra hard work on sorting and emailing the photos to me.
A couple of the photo's I had to crop from a long distance shot, so if anyone does have a better photograph, please send/email and I will be pleased to replace the existing.
After I posted the first batch of photos, I was able to identify some other exhibits from the batch of photographs and posted these on the supplementary photo page. There is no method/selection here, they were simply amongst those received and/or I was able to crop, and they are nice photos so I posted them. I'll extend an invitation here to any Crufts exhibitor - if I haven't posted your affie's Crufts photo, and you want it added, then just send/email it and I will gladly add it to the supplementary page (if you do, don't forget to tell me the full name of your affie of course..).
