Tips for Capturing Dog Photos

[Emma02]

Hello,

I really love dogs. they are really looks innocent. So I've recently taken an interest in photographing dogs, especially during their playful moments in parks or during walks. While I've captured some decent shots, I often find it challenging to get the focus right, especially when they move so quickly.
Here are some Picture Clicked by me-

Does anyone have any tips or techniques they use to capture sharp, dynamic photos of dogs in action?

Thanks in advance!

Emma,

Especially this first picture shows you have not a lot to learn beyond continuing with unflagging love and enthusiasm.

​

You can be proud. There’s action, tail is up, mouth is open about to grab the ball.

Of course, in post processing you can sharpen and apply an S curve to thr dog and ball. Perhaps you did just tgst!

You might also choose to further blur tgr b.g.

Todays cameras can track the dog coming towards you and grab and maintain eye focus!

It’s tempting to use a tiny aperture, sat f11 to create a generous depth of field that’s in sharp focus. Whatever you chose worked very well!

But AF focus today can do just fine with lens wide open.

I would love to know the lens and EXIF.

Make sure you don’t have this guy in the shoot!

Dogs have zero attention span.

This guy chases Piglett (pictured above) every chance he gets!

His name is Tonga and he bites!
