My second day at the NEC, and I'm beginning to feel a bit more comfortable navigating my way around the place. With no Papillon's to distract me I found myself exploring much more, and as a result I managed to get my bearings much better.

Another 8am arrival, but this time I knew where I was going and what I was doing, so it was a much more relaxed start to the day. I managed to venture to the Arena early in the day for the International Junior Handling, and with a different vantage point I was able to get much different photos compared to the first day. I even got to put my feet on the hallowed green carpet for the first time! Childish perhaps, but sometimes its the smaller things that help keep me amused.

The Breeders competition was something I'd never experienced before and made for interesting watching, as was the Gundog demonstration. Unfortunately I missed the Agility, and learned another valuable lesson there - plan ahead!

It's all a learning process though, and I was beginning to feel a bit more comfortable with the camera settings, with getting around the place. By the end of the day I knew I had to start Sunday with a plan in my head to avoid more disappointment.
