Great shots, love 5 & 6. How did you find the 1Dmk2 did the focus keep up with them?

Nice shots Vesa! I would only suggest looking at the cropping a bit, in terms of the rule of thirds. Give the dogs a bit more space to run into rather than behind them.

You say the fastest Afghan in Finland... are the dogs timed, or is this from the dog winning the races?

Nothing wrong with the body, it can focus fast enough but the 100-400 lens is just damn slow

Thanks. I agree that my crops are pretty bad and greens are tad too saturated on some shots.

The dogs are timed. She won the race and the title. She also made new track record. I think I can find the final time she ran if you are interested.
Distance was 480 metres

Thanks for the info. I don't need the actual time, it wouldn't mean anything to me over here.
