Photos from the agility trial on Sunday, Jan 28, 2007

The photos were provided by Cathy Moore

What a great trial we had.  Large entry and super help.  Thanks to everyone who helped and the judges for their contributions.  I was unable to come Fri. and Sat. due to work schedule so the photo included are from Sunday only.

 I have been practicing taking trial photos for the last year or so and have sent these to the club for the web pages.  For those that do not do photography, the conditions in the barn are terrible for taking photos.  The lighting is not adequate for taking great (or even good) pics.  What I was trying to do is take what is called panning photos.  This is where you move the camera with the moving subject.   The goal is to blur out background and part of the subject to create a illusion of motion.  There was barely enough light to able to stop motion at all, so it was mostly hit or miss to be able to get even part of the subjects motion stopped.  However, I think I achieved some interesting and unusual photos.  Keep in mind while looking at the pics that keeping the subjects in focus was not my goal or even possible.  You should also know that I downloaded the photos at a low dpi and small size so that they will download quickly. This also means that they will not print or enlarge without losing all quality.  If you see a photo and would like to get a print you can contact me at gsdz4me@peoplepc.com

I hope you enjoy the photos and any and all feedback is appreciated and welcome.

 As they say Run Clean, Run Fast, Run Fun.
