More photos I took recently of Shilo and Vontae

Great photos, they really capture the sense of motion. I used to dabble in sports photography, and capturing action without completely freezing everything is a real challenge! I assume you are using shutter speed priority on your camera settings? I would try a little bit faster shutter speed, to find a good balance of motion blur in the background, with less bur on the dog itself. Shooting a dog whose motions are somewhat unpredictable makes it even more challenging. Have fun and show us more!

Thanks Eric! I'm shooting manual - adjusting both shutter speed and aperture (for the fast action ones, shutter speed 1/2000-1/3000, Aperture 2.8-4). For the panning shots, I slowed the shutter speed to 1/30 and yeah it was a real challenge just to get those photos. I will keep experimenting until I find the sweet spot of background blur/focused dog.

Here's another panning shot - this one has relatively good dog focus, but lacks the "flying effect" of an earlier shot - along with a bunch of clear action shots of Shilo I took this morning. All the original files are 5-15MB in size; unfortunately, the PF upload limit is 200KB.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

A couple more today.
