I’m not a dog photographer. But there is a dog park where I live, and I’ve started sitting there to rest when I’m walking around with my camera. One day I asked permission to photograph this dog and the owner said it was fine. It wasn’t easy at all to photograph a running dog! This photo was the best out of the bunch.

What a cute photo! I love Boston Terriers, they’re such happy dogs! Yes, it is hard to do dog photography! I’ve practiced on some of my friends dogs and it’s a lot of fun! This is a great capture of him/her at play!

Thank you, @Vanessa_Hill! I agree, it was both hard and fun. :grinning:

I like the pose of the dog, Barbara, and the beat up tennis ball tells its own story. The background is pretty harshly lit. Given the looks of it, you might want to play with this again on a cloudy day.
