Wet Dog

    In the water, out of the water, shake off, soak everyone, in the water again, out again.........................

    I took this with my 12-24mm. At the time, I was annoyed to just have the wideangle lens, as I'd have preferred to get closer and faster (i.e. with my 70-200mm). But now I'm glad it's wide, because I got the path and the people in shot. Good to try different lenses - good to get pushed out of habits.

      AWESOME! Great moment captured. Love the motion and all those water droplets in the air. ...and of course the lovely beast. ;)

      Cool photo - was this taken with your special 'high speed camera'? ;-)

      It does seem a bit silly that dogs are so keen to get every last drop of water off them and then they jump straight back in!

      ;-) It was - that special high speed camera. I've had more than a few questions about that camera. I suppose 'normal camera' wouldn't quite have cut it!
