My wife and I were visiting a local park the other night and taking photos of some Trumpeter Swans when we ran across this really cool dog. His name is Harley, and he is a chocolate Labradoodle. He was a riot and loved to play in the water.
Jimmy Dean likes to play fetch, sort of. He begs to play, then he spends most of the time making some awlful noises at his toy elephant as he bites it. This happens several times a day, every day.
A few minutes of shooting.
Yes - they are mostly running away from me, as the return isn't nearly as interesting.

Shane gets really jealous when we're out in the water an he isn't. After I took a wakeboarding run he was begging to come in with me, so I invited him in. Being a retriever, he wanted to help and insisted in bringing in my board for me.
Watercolour on 300 lb Arches. 10" x 14". This painting was done on commission. I took about 25 photos of these two dogs running and playing in the yard. The black collie dog was less aggressive than the Lab. He would always let the lab get the stick. I created this composition from several of the photos.
Another diafine processed shot, this time with expired Fomapan Action 400. I had heard this film wasn't ideal with Diafine, I don't think it's too shabby.
The simple things in life like playing in the woods with my dogs really remind me what it's all about.

Looks Better Big!
I was very proud I got this shot. This dog was running around at 100 miles an hour and I was trying to capture him...lol His owner was throwing a stick to him, and this is him running out of the lake.
Taken at Marsh Creek State Park PA.
Sometimes a fixed focal length gives you more in the frame than you'd allow with a zoom. I think that look would have been less striking had I been able to zoom in close. The wife always wants close-up shots of the grandkids but I think it's nice when the subject shows just enough detail to allow your imagination to fill in the blanks. A bit like lingerie I guess!
