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.
