Went to the park intending to shoot budding trees, and instead I preferred this dog.
I love the motion and the flying, albeit dead and brown, grass debris as it changed direction.
I snapped a few shots of the trees, but nothing I love. Will try again tomorrow.
Shot: Canon EOS Rebel T1i w/ Sigma 300 mm lens (lens made for film EOS)
1/1600 sec, aperture priority, f/4, ISO 100, focal length: 300 mm (not adjusted)
Photoshop: crop.

You’re awfully hard on your vision and this project…a little more “I rock” and a little less “this didn’t work like I hoped”
There are some great highlights in this dog’s face. A closer crop might have made it seem like he was in motion more though…for me…because he’d be pushing the edges of the frame. Just a thought.
So how much are loving that new camera, eh? (I’m practicing to become a Canadian)
Thanks, Carm. But we have met, right?
Searching for perfection is a character flaw.
But I LOVE the new camera sooooooooooooooooo much. You hoser.
I like your motion shot of the dog. The detail of the grass clippings going airborne is a nice touch to the overall photo. This photo also is a great visual of the personality of Labradors, the most awesome dogs in the world!
