It’s been a long time since I brought my big camera to play with the office puppies. They were difficult to catch in motion – mostly because they were tumbling all over each other – but I discovered a new trick of my own.
I’d set the focus on the stick, with my hand outstretched, and then let the dogs jump up to get it. Big brother was great at this game!
Little sister…
..was super cute, but wasn’t really into it. These are the only two shots I have of her. I think she realized that I didn’t have treats and wasn’t really appreciating her efforts sufficiently. Also, every time she got the stick, big brother would steal it from her.
This makes me want to do a whole series, perhaps of dogs at obedience school or the dog park or somewhere. Abby, how many dogs can you set me up with?
So cute and brilliant idea to focus on the stick. I love the effect of it. I think I’m going to try it with my dogs. :)
Do you use a back button to focus? That’ll help too to hold the focus where you want it. Love the pups!
Maggie, I love these shots! too cute!
