June/July Assignment: Action Photography

[Nancy and Georgia Brown]

For this assignment we will focus on your dog running towards you.

I've provided the guideline in pdf form as it doesn't clutter up the top of every page in the discussion. I know we would all rather see pictures!

I've tried to make it as simple as possible. There are things I recommend doing and not doing, but please note that I am trying to make it as easy as possible to get your dog in focus.

Please read the pdf attached. Let me know if you see anything that needs to be explained better or added to make this as user friendly as possible.

Also please state your camera settings with each photo: ISO, shutterspeed, aperture, and focal length.

And happy shooting!

What a great expression and nice focus on the face.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Ditto what DJ said :)

[Nancy and Georgia Brown]

Yes, I agree with DJ.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I love his expression. Happy dogs are the best!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Shooting action ... practicing with more wide open apertures is challenging...and trying different crops/perspectives.
