Talking Run!







So I'm quite pleased with these and a few other similar pics. I've been trying to get some decent shots of dogs running recently, and haven't managed it.

The light was good enough today to allow me to set the shutter speed fast enough to freeze the action, and get a nice sharp shot.

Thanks to all those that advised me how, in this thread

The first is the best one. Have you added vignetting?

Yeah - perhaps a little too heavily on a couple of them? It's more noticeable when they're side by side...

I like them all but the first one really stands out!

Having the dog running at you and looking down the camera lens really makes you feel like the dog is running.

Whay happened to Woody!?

This is a great idea for a project :-) I really like the framing and the dog's tongues hanging out all over the place lol. There's a nice sense of happiness and energy to them all. You should photograph my dogs, the faces they pull when running! Their faces gets pulled in a different direction to their skull :-)

Dogs always look so happy with themselves when they are running. Excellent photos, but the vignetting on the first one is a little heavy for my liking. The last one really made me smile.
