Clearing the Bar

I have never really photographed at a dog agility trial before.  Talk about all of the variables that can set up a photographer for failure – indoor setting with not enough light and dogs running at top speed in all different directions.  It’s all about anticipation in photographing this sport!  I started shooting even before the dog arrived at the jump and held down the shutter while the dogs went flying over the bar.  It was great fun to photograph and a good challenge!  Not to mention that the dogs were all fabulous!  I have way more failed shots than good ones, but I came away with some favorites, despite the need to shoot at high ISO with a fast shutter speed.  This Springer Spaniel was a superstar at agility!
