About Like the Captain of a ship, this police K9 windsurfs while on duty in Vallejo, California. I've never quite seen a K9 cop do this.

Shot through my windshield, while trying to follow the car without getting noticed and at the same time, trying to keep Diablo from getting jealous.

Ok Dave YOU are Really good ..... I know this and this is why I view your images so much...
I really like them. Plus You tell what they are about .

I totally understand that You are not interested in my learning stages ... BUT maybe when I get better . .... well hopefully you would be, as we both seem to like about the same things.
Best wishes,
Michele~

Thank you, Michele for such kind words. Please excuse my absence from your portfolio. Between trying to catch up with work and wanting to get some pictures posted, I'm trying to catch up with all my friends, including you... I'll be there soon to see what you're up to...

Best to you,
Dave

Shirley, if you knew what I went through for this photo, you'd laugh, not just smile. I chased this cop all across the city at 10-15 MPH over the limit trying to get the shot. It's not usually a good idea speeding behind him. About 10 blocks after this shot (I took many while trying to drive and compose the picture), he turned off and I went on into the sunset.

I continued on, trying to find what I was looking for. About a mile later, I stopped at a traffic signal and was going to make a U-turn. Lo and behold, he appears beside me in the straight lane. I figured it wasn't illegal to do a U-turn but not living in CA, I didn't know.

So off I go and as I make my turn, he turns on his lights and siren and turns behind me. I figure I'm done for and pull over... but he goes flying by me on his way to a call.... afforded me another couple of shots, though. His partner looks like a real veteran, with all the gray he had... here's another point and shoot pic as he blew by me...

Stalking a cop... dumb move...

What a story. Definitely not for the faint of heart - tailing a police car. Very good image Dave.


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141657} 2/10/2007
You are a hoot, Dave! I doubt I would have gone through all that while driving, but I can see the temptation to get the shot. Glad you didn't get a ticket.;)

La captura está fantástica y por eso mereces una felicitación.
Haber puesto celoso a Diablo... no es justo!!!
De i parte unos buenos mimos a Diablo!


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 2/11/2007
gracias, Alicia. Este individuo era un perrito divertido pero estoy asustado que Diablo perdería esa lucha si los dos met.


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 2/11/2007
Thanks much, Jinggoy.... as you can see, I was in your neck of the woods... for 2 weeks... but only had about a day and a half of photography. Would have liked to have found your haunts and shot some birds. But that didn't happen.

Ah...Dave, I had not seen this...NIce.


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 10/20/2007
Thanks Bernardo, shot this out my windshield as I chased the car through town trying to get this shot. Lucky I didn't get a ticket.
