A few more dog agility

palmor · 15th of March 2009 (Sun)

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.

Canon EOS 40D ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM
1/800s f/8.0 at 200.0mm iso1250

Thanks for looking

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.

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
John
