Dear Dan,
PS I just saw the title, was previously so overawed that I didn't look. So now I have got my "rush" for the day having seen something inspiring and a B G Laugh. Thank you. CC

This SO deserves an award, it is breath taking! It's got it all. The wow factor of a dog in flight, not something you see everyday, and certainly not when you have a camera handy and the skill necessary to capture it!
The crop is tight enough to bring our focus right in on the expression, but includes enough for us appreciate the setting and the authenticity of the shot.
I love the pastel colours and the gentleness of this image, but what blows me away is the way the dog has engaged the camera (and thus me). Looking right down the barrel, and so perfectly focussed, I can't tear my eyes away from its face.
Certainly a favourite! CC

Wonderful shot! We have an Aussie who looks a bit like your dog. Ours can't fly, though, unless there is a treat involved, and then she would rather knock you over to get it than to jump a fence.
Thank you for describing how you made this shot (tripod, 15 shots, etc.). I've tried the freeze frame shots before with no success, think a flash would have made mine better.

WOW!!! What a great capture at f/4. The eyes are fantastic, and obviously, your pup really hates doing this for you ...LOL!!! One question; did you reward your pup for his tenaciousness to please you? Bravo!
Cheers,
Bill

OMG- fifteen takes! Poor dog must have been huffing and puffing (and loving all the attention from you).
This is a fantastic shot for so many reasons: props to the pooch; props to you for the great shot and the funniest title. So great/so amusing.
--Best to you, Jan

I shot this on manual mode with a flash , F4 1/250th of a second. I underexposed the flash by 1 and 1/3 stops. So it would not look too blown out and harsh. The key for the sharpness was the flash freezing the action , I prefocused the camera and shot with manual focus. My dog will jump our fence on comand so it was just a matter of taking the shot at the high point of her jump. It took about 15 tries to get this one shot.Many blurry many out of frame. I also was using a tripod as I was shooting with a 200mm lens.

hi,love the image,Dan!...pretty BG bokeh,dynamic action,and i like the dog's expression with the FG fence top...now,question: did you shoot this on some kind of action mode?...i recently posted a swan in water image in which swan was swimming toward me in low light,so shot came out a tad soft....it was suggested that i should have used a sport action mode on my film camera to get a sharper focus...obviously your dog is moving much faster than the swan,but any info is appreciated
regards,gayle

Awesome image!!!
Very well captured! perfect DOF!
You could possibly push the saturation, and contrast a bit more to give it a 'look', rather than a snapshot. Other than that, freakin awesome!!!
well done
cheers,

No ratings??!! How can I give you a 10???! This is perfect, Dan. I don't think I have ever seen a dog action shot from this angle, captured this perfectly. Just to get it in such perfect focus with the dog flying at you was quite a feat. Wonderful.
