I took our dog Billy down to the oval on the weekend and let him off for a run which he absolutely loves. At the same time I thought I'd practice taking some "sport" program shots...
I took some sport shots the weekend before at Jarita's soccer game and quickly realised there was room for improvement - especially keeping the subject in the middle of the field of view with continuous focus on! So I thougth a bit of practice on Billy before the next soccer game would be in order.
Here's a few of the better ones. I hope to get it a bit sharper in bright sunlight as the shutter speed should drop and the aperture close down to improve depth of field a bit.
I also had another go this arvo, but the light was just too dark. Lots of motion blur at 1/40 sec so Billy looks like he's going really fast when you can make out that it's him!
