Just shot a Puppy Play Date for a local dog park. Thank God for 7 fps. These dogs change direction and facial expression so quickly when they are free roaming and playing! It also made for some really cool and funny shots! The constant movement and change of direction made it difficult to always keep the eyes in focus. Even without the eyes in focus, some still turned out cool and the owners loved them!

There are WAY too many to choose from! These were just a few of my favorites! A very interesting observation I had though - Dogs of the same breed (who hadn't met before) kept finding each other and hanging out. There was a pack of 5 huskies that formed and they all started playing and "talking" loudly. It was cool to see. Wonder what it says about dogs and self awareness. Is it instinct to just be drawn to the same breed?

Anyway, I love dogs and this was a blast! Thanks for looking!

Thanks! It was a lot of fun. Kind of crazy to see the weird positions they get themselves in.

I concur: great series. :cool:
