leapin' pup

Technique advice anyone? Took a bunch of pictures on the weekend of a dog leaping for a frisbee. Got a lot of good airborn shots, but unimpressed with the overall results. Wondering if anyone can provide some suggestions of what I could have done better (other than avoiding the frickin' frackin' garbage cans in the background... SHEEEEESH!!!!!).

@faylin tx Fay... i actually think he looks kind of dorky! i was kind of hoping for grace and elegance ;p

[Fay Lin]

@northy LOL it may not be as graceful as you wanted but I think it definitely captured the fun of the moment :)

Great shot!

I love it! What is it that you are unhappy about?

[Sam Porter]

hmmm, maybe bump your ISO up a notch to get a faster shutter speed going and maye get a shot as the dog is just catching the frisbee?

@karens68 @inertie @sporter85 @jantan @sheg tx all... what am i unhappy about? i'm not sure... i did get several shots with him catching the frisbee... i even got one shot with the eyes sharp in focus... but in every single pic the poor puppy looks, well, dorky... and i keep thinking he ought to look elegant, and that i should be able to figure out how to make that happen... ????
