Will be attempting again...struggling with focus as I was the thrower and photographer. Had some nice air captures, but again focus was an issue. Need an assistant!
this is one of those almost shots and it is so difficult with animals moving quickly towards you - I was pleased with my shot on 24th March but it took some capturing - I set the focus to 3D-Tracking AF and a focus point on the righthand third - set spot metering on the same point and threw the stick well out into th eriver and tracked Izzy all the way back continuous shooting with the focus point roughly on her eyes - I managed one good shot out of many - and waited until processing to fianlly compose - you might try it
@handymaurice Thanks Haydn, I appreciate the feedback and will give it a try. That's not something I would have thought of. I usually don't have as much trouble with action as I did this evening. Normally I use a monopod with action which helps me a lot...throwing, shooting, and handheld just didn't work, but I had to post something. I just went back and looked at your shot with Lzzy...that was a fantastic capture!
@dridsdale it was a lucky capture although planned - i had to throw the stick many times and take loads of shots using f11 with ISO500 - I love the ears in your shot
I struggle with the same issues, throwing the ball and taking the shots. It certainly takes some patience. Love those ears curling around his/her face. Think your patience has paid off 😊
