It was my pleasure to photograph our local Dog Agility trials again this year. It's wonderful to see the athleticism and strong bond these dog's have with their owners. From small to large, competitive to not-so-competitive, each dog was fun to watch and record in images. Whether it was running through rings, over jumps, through tunnels, or over catwalks you could tell each dog was enjoying their "work".
A few more thousand of these are loaded up on the Gallery site. This is the second year of using Smugmug and highly recommend its usage. Since I have loaded up the images the orders roll through without my involvement.
Notes: I (and my talented second shooter) shot nearly 8000 images in two eight hour days at this event. The lighting is extremely bad with two different types of light in this horse arena. It also had filtered skylights but this year it was heavy overcast and we got very little natural lighting. It made a big difference from last year. Everything was shot at ISO1600 with shutter priority trying to stay faster than 1/250 which is about the minimum acceptable for a fast moving dog. Even then each of the 1000's of images needed lots of work in PS as each was shot a few stops underexposed. 50% of the image were thrown out as unusable. I rented a second 70-200 f/2.8 lens for the event and would highly recommend that for special lens needs.

Au Lapin Agile is a famous Montmartre cabaret, at 22 Rue des Saules, 18th arrondissement of Paris, France. It was originally called "Cabaret des Assassins". Tradition relates that the cabaret received this name because a band of assassins broke in and killed the owner's son. The cabaret was more than twenty years old when, in 1875, the artist Andre Gill painted the sign that was to suggest its permanent name. It was a picture of a rabbit jumping out of a saucepan, and residents began calling their neighborhood night-club "Le Lapin à Gill", meaning "Gill's rabbit". Over time the name evolved into "Cabaret Au Lapin Agile", or, the Nimble Rabbit Cabaret. At the turn of the 20th century, the Lapin Agile was a favorite spot for struggling artists and writers, including Picasso, Modigliani, Apollinaire, and Utrillo.

I was asked to photograph the 2009 AAC Alberta/NWT Regional Agility Champions. I had just begun sorting the 3000+ images we took to post online for the handlers and owners to see when this series caught my eye.
They were perfectly placed for a quick combination into a single image.
Thousands more to follow, at least for those interested in purchasing them and seeing the action.
Agility Training involves a lot of different obstacles. This one is called the A-Frame. It is one of Mattie's favorites.

I am pretty sure this is Zephyr.
Headed out to watch and agility competition, and take some photos while doing it. It was a gorgeous day, and the dogs and handlers were all amazing.
I was fully expecting to have many challenges in getting off shots, with the speed and movements of the dogs. And yes...this in itself was hard, but to add to the challenge, spectators had to be a certain distance from the fences (so all my shots were shot through the metal fence). This left me with no other option to use manual focus with these speedy guys. The of course there where the thick poles at the break of the fences, and since the fence was low, the dogs that jumped the highest were amny times lost in the top bar of the fence. There were also competitors and participants walking in the area between the spectators and the ring.
So, as a result, the shots were very difficult to take, and I made attempts at trying to blur the fence through camera speeds, and distance between the fence and the dog on the other side. Needless to say, none of these are great shots..but fun none the less (and I had fun taking them.
