Woody, already swimming in anticipation for the stick to be thrown. The splash of the stick can be seen as it hits the water. Taken at Craighall Dam, Neilston, East Renfrewshire, Scotland
I have been a bit shy in the past taking pictures of strangers, however; down the beach recently I decided to give it a go. I used my new 70-200 f/4L lens to get close enough. I love the detail it gives including the spray from the ball the man is throwing.
I do need to buy a monopod though, any recommendations?
ok, he can't fech but he's so cute playing with the ball, even with balls bigger than him! yesterday Lassie complained and acted like biting him to steal him the ball!
I took pictures of dogs at the beach this weekend. They all seem to enjoy it there. This one was nonstop fetching and swimming.
While at the river i met some people with some greyhounds and managed these pictures while one of them was playing fetch in the water.
Sochi, my siberian Husky playing fetch in the back garden. He's mostly indifferent about sticks, but today he wanted to have some fun...
Flynn bringing his ball back to me, in one of our favourite fields for playing fetch.... I was happy because it's finally warm & more importantly, dry enough, to comfortably sit down on the grass. Flynn's 14yr old "big brother" Barney was with us on the day I took this. His legs get tired easily these days, so Barney & I had a nice rest on the soft grass, soaking up the early spring sunshine, while Flynn ran & ran, fetching his beloved (now squeakless!) squeaky yellow ball.
I still find it funny having a dog who doesn't deliberately destroy toys & who (mostly) plays fetch properly! When he was younger, Barney would very enthusiastically chase & catch a ball, start to bring it back, but then often get bored, drop it in long grass & run off - leaving me to search out the abandoned toy alone! He thought this game was wonderfully fun! He'd do a "formal retrieve" but playing fetch just didn't come naturally to Barney. We lost SO many balls over the years & I spent hours wandering in circles, staring at the grass, futilely looking for the latest missing toy. If Barney *didn't* drop the ball, he was quite prone to just racing off with it & gleefully ripping it to pieces! I'd buy extra tough toys & he'd shred them in minutes. He thought that was wonderfully fun too ;-)
Flynn will bring the ball back - not right to my hand but he likes to place it very carefully, a couple of meters in front of me, so I can easily see it. If I can't spot his ball, Flynn will eagerly return & point it out - he doesn't like leaving a toy behind! When I'm sitting, he generally returns the ball close enough that I can (with a bit of a stretch!) reach it, without getting up. He also very rarely deliberately destroys toys - he's still got some that came from his previous home, when I adopted him, 6yrs ago! Flynn's current yellow ball isn't that old but was only £1 & although it has lost its squeak, he's been playing with it daily for months & it's still in one piece! Funny how different dogs are, even in the same breed.
Doc, an improvised explosive device detection dog (IDD) with 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, retrieves a bumper during a training session at Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, March 19, 2013. IDD dog handlers, often volunteers from their home units, are matched with a dog and work together to perform route clearance and other duties in a combat environment.

Took this shot from about 30 - 40 metres away from the subject using the full 300mm my lens would allow. The dog was really excited about playing fetch, but at this point sat patiently waiting for his owner to come back and play.
I used Gimp to set the panorama to highlight the dog and ball whilst emphasising the space between him and his owner. All I did then was to change the colour levels to lighten and increase contrast (it was a very dull day and the light was poor). Finally I selected the dog using free select and applied an unsharp mask to bring out the water matted dog hair with stronger emphasis.
Powerful Imperial Bombast at the Albert Memorial in Hyde Park. There are four marble sculptures at each corner, each representing a continent of the British Empire. This represents the Americas.
I love the blue of the sky every time the camera compensates for a bright and brilliant foreground. The graduated sky gives away that I took a characteristically wonky angle to get the best out of this composition .
