A few more dog agility

[palmor]

Ash had another quick practice today but this time outdoors in a large white tent which made the lighting pretty good. He only got two runs in and there wasn't a real good vantage point for a lot of the jumps but I manged to get a few decent shots. This is a lot of fun :)

I wanted this one at f/4 (get a little bit shallower DOF) but forgot to change it before he started. It was unfortunate that the backgrounds where all very cluttered.

Great action shots John. I agree, it is a shame about all the clutter against the wall, but still good shots :-)

Given the background for shots #2 and #3 I would suggest doing whatever you can to shoot at f/2.8 to add even more blur to the background.

Nice shots, i like the third one best

Ash looks like he is having a blast !!

That background is amazing - looks like you were in the middle of some construction project! Nice shots though, you've got some good action in them and they're nice and sharp.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I can't wait until the outdoor season when I have a lot more options on where I stand ect. Ash's 1st official agility trial is at the end of April so we'll see if I can get some good captures there :)



Thanks
