Thanks Jeff!! I guess at certain stages of photography, you need to put yourself and your equipment at stake to get the shot
you want. I wanted a good action shot. I am now paying for it, as there is atleast 2 grains of sand that managed to get under the focusing ring of the lens. At certain spots I can now feel the grit when focussing.
That does not bother me as I would have paid hundreds of dollars for someone else to get this shot for me... So the investment in the shot was worth it. Especially personally as when I look at this image I see- My baby doing something I thought she never would again / the first fun she has had in almost 4 months / a beautiful example of a fit dog preforming for me...
In all I am very happy with this picture, obviously though it would not mean so much to others....
On a side note she is literally the last of the, legal purebread American Rednose Pitbulls sold in Australia. She was bought just weeks before they were banned. She has been assesed by council inspectors and has been found to be of very good nature and not a threat at all.
She is unfortunatley an inside dog, as I do not want to risk her escaping and somehow scared into causing someone / something damage. When she is out, she is on a leash at all times. This was a rare example of her free running. I get so few oppotunities these days. That is all part of being a responsible owner of this type of animal.
It is funny how many people these days, don't even know what a purebread American Rednose pitbull looks like. They think they look like staffies, they don't. Every news article I have ever seen disciminates all
those type of dogs into the Pitbull catagory. It is amazing how quickly a staffie x turns into a pitbull when it attacks someone.
