Happy Lab

Winston had a great time playing in his first snow.

Abosolutely wonderful ..!

Very funny!

What a grin! Great shot... Mike

 

 

very well captured. my compliments

You captured the personality of the dog as well as movement.It almost looks like a trick shot although you probably were shooting on continuous. And the exposure was tricky (white dog in snow). In other words you did a good job.The only thing missing is a little catch-light which could have been captured with fill flash.

A really beautiful shot, Scott!

Thanks everyone. Bob, yes I was shooting on a continuous 8 fps as he was running very fast towards me. He does have a somewhat different running stroke than most labs, but it seems to work quite well for him. Of course, he's still all puppy(11 months old), so it may change a little. I agree a little catch-light would have improved it, but it was overcast skies and a flash wouldn't have been feasible shooting at that high a rate of frames and distance. The sun came out 30 minutes later and I almost went back to shoot again, but figured the snow would just be blown out, so I didn't.

Attack dog? :-) Very cute shot! I love the snow in the brown background....no doubt being thrown by him as he barrels through the snow. Nice work!

Incredible capture, Scott. He's airborne and loving it. He's so fast, I don't even see any paw tracks! Well done.

Great capture. I love the way his body is white with the white snow under him, and then his ears are darker with the brown background. He looks so funny with all 4 paws in the air. I bet he had a lot of fun. Please look at my "Fred sneaks up on Jett" photo. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=9803056. You did a much better job than I did.

What a great action shot of Winston mid air. His face is so joyful, he is definitly having fun. I love it.
