    Nice one of Bailey in #1, Randy...The full gallop one needs a faster shutter speed, Explorer and rearranging the prairie are both cute...I can just imagine him coming inside the house wet and muddy... (sorry, bad thoughting...)

    I agree, Izzie, the full gallop did require a faster shutter speed. I have to get better at anticipating his movements. Luckily there should many more opportunities to get the shot right. A little more training and I hope to capture a proper portrait, at present it is more of a case of capturing him in a stationary position long enough to click the shutter.....and I thought birds were bad!!!

    The weird thing is that the mud just seems to slough off of his coat.....not complaining though

    Randy,

    I really like #'s 1,2 and 4. These are great shots of an absolutely beautiful terrier pup...

    #1 is a difficult lighting situation with a backlit and parti-colored dog that is primarily white. It is easy to blow the highlights in a shot like this but you held the highlights as well as the mid-tones and shadows...

    #'s 3 and 4 really show a terrier in action. It has only been a couple of years in which I have had experience with terriers but, I am getting to love this class of dogs.

    There is a problem with #2 in that Bailey is not sharp. At first I thought, as mentioned above, that the shutter speed was too slow and that we were seeing motion blur. However in looking more closely at the image, I tend to think that (while shutter speed might have been part of the problem) the major reason for Bailey being blurred is focus...

    Bailey at 14 weeks

    The grass behind Bailey is in focus while Bailey himself is OOF. This might have happened for a number of reasons which could have included:

    The camera picking the wrong spot on which to focus...

    The A/F being slow to adjust with Bailey traveling faster than the A/F could follow him...

    Depending on which camera/lens you used, shutter lag may have been the culprit. When I was using my first digital camera (Olympus 5050Z) it would take a split second (which seemed like an eternity when shooting fast action) between the shutter being pressed and the image being acquired. The camera would focus on the subject and the subject (most often my subjects in those days were puppies) would have moved before the camera acquired the image, thus the puppies were often either gone from the frame or OOF.

    All DSLR cameras are not created equal when it comes to following action. Some camera/lens combinations have faster and more accurate A/F capability. Additionally, most often DSLR cameras have faster acquisition and faster A/F when used in the eye-level viewing mode than when viewed using the LCD screen...
