    Re: Agility

    All the Agility events around here are indoors and the light is terrible. I'm using ISO 2500-4000 just to get 1/200 - 1/320s shutter speeds. Looks like you may have the opposite problem with a harsh, full sun. I'll post some from this past weekend in another thread.

    I've seen some on another forum from the European Junior Championships. Is that where these are from?

    Re: Agility

    Hi, thanks for the feedback.
    except on the slalom I used the manual focus, or the small button at the end of my lens that freeze the focus.
    Those shots are from a Swiss contest, but not a national one.
    Yes, here in bright sun I only focused on the dof and while trying to get something above 1/800s, and even more for the fastest dogs. Never done that indoor, but I have another event like that indoor this year, so I would be highly interesting in seeing your shots.
    I think some of the obstacles are too fast to be shot indoor.

    I really like the first one, too. I just love that focused, excited smile on that doggy. All dogs should get to do this stuff! I really need to go to one of these events - both to shoot and to enjoy all the happy doggies
