A Little Dog Action






A certain young lady and I ended up in one of our usual haunts last week. There was a lot of action, so that’s the theme of the next few shots. These shots are all about action—in case you could not tell, I tried to turn my D700 into a movie camera. With performances like this, this dog earned the nickname "Splash."

Enjoy.

Camera settings: Nikon D700, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8, shot at ISO 200, 200mm, f/5.6 and 1/4,000th of a seconds.

Post Processing in Lightroom—Set white and black points, added mid-tone contrast.

  2. Wonderful! And really hard to capture sharply, or for me anyway. Now what does C's summer pet sitting schedule look like? I guess she may have big sister duties that may interfere.

  3. I love the second shot; dog stretched out to full length, tounge hanging completely out, expression of anticipation? Really...could this dog be any happier? :-)

    Well done!
