With the theme being new and all, I want to show it off a little by using some of my favorite photos. Here's Kody looking pensive and regal. What I want is to get some good running shots. If you have a tight focus getting the dog in focus while he's running to you is next to impossible. First I am laying on the ground to get the photo at his level. Then I throw something which he will chase and not necessarily fetch, but at least he'll run back in my direction. Then I have to get in position and try to get the shot in probably under 5 seconds. This means getting the part of Kody I want in focus (usually one of his eyes) in exactly the right spot in the viewfinder and pressing the button. I maybe have three tries if I'm lucky each throw. I didn't get one running shot in correct focus for this whole session. I'll try again next time.

I just thought, I need an assistant so I can just be prepared and he can throw stuff. I'll try that next time!
