Grab Shot
Posted on June 23, 2016 in Animals, Dogs, Pet Photography, Sports
Photographers often use the term “grab shot” when they capture an image quickly or on the spur of the moment. This photo, however, really IS a grab shot … or an “about to grab” shot as the dog is a millisecond away from snatching the bumper hanging in front of him in the Keystone Dock Dogs Extreme Vertical competition. I had so much fun photographing this event and it was extremely challenging. What lens do I use? What depth of field? How do I focus on these fast moving dogs that were in and out of my viewfinder in a second? I have a zillion failed shots and a few winners that I just love, like this one!
