A kiss after a great jump in Extreme Vertical at Codorus Blast on Saturday.

There is still time to get out to Codorus Blast today (near York, Pa) to see the Keystone Dock Dog event. There are Big Air and Speed Retrieve waves running throughout the day. I had a fun time photographing these athletic dogs on Friday and Saturday and I will say that photographing dogs that move this fast is one of the toughest things I have ever photographed. You have to follow the dog running on the dock, anticipate the height they will achieve as they jump, continue moving the camera as they splash into the water and keep everything in focus all at the same time. I hope for a few good images after shooting thousands of frames! This is an early favorite as I’m downloading my memory cards today.

Everyone has their eye on the toy! This is Tara from Team Blackout launching from the dock at Steel Stacks last weekend. Tara is wearing a Super Fly suit embroidered with her name! I must say, all of the dogs wearing Super Fly suits looked adorable and helped me to distinguish one from the other. Having their name embroidered on the side was even better! I love this photo!

I just finished downloading the last of my dock dog photos from the weekend. Gosh, there are LOTS – over 1500! Which to post?! I’ll pick the ones that grab my attention first, like this one. It’s all about the tennis ball!

I spent the weekend photographing the Keystone Dock Dogs at Steel Stacks in Bethlehem, Pa. What a fun time for all, but most especially for the dogs who obviously LOVE dock diving! I will share some favorite images and stories to go along with them. I’m a novice at dock dog photography and I still struggle with focus and keeping up with these fast moving dogs! Most of my “splash” images are all water and no dog, but this one I just love! The pup just landed in the pool and is still focused on trying to catch the ball! Pure drive and determination! Oh and those ears!!!!
