I take a lot of pictures of my dog so you might as well resign yourself to that right now if you're going to visit this blog. Last Sunday, we made a trip to the local off-leash dog park and I managed to snag a few good shots with my Nikon set to the pre-programmed action mode.
These first two shots are my favorites on the day. They have their issues, but I love how they capture the action!

| The focus here is on the wrong dog, but if I can stop thinking of it as a photograph of Shasta, it's a great shot. Especially for anyone who may have been wondering what a Golden Retrievers would look like if their ears stood erect like a German Shepherd. |
 |
| The Retriever would chase after Shasta, then body slam her to knock the ball loose. Again, the focus isn't quite right, but I still love this one. |
A couple of still shots.
 |
| I tried cropping this for a closeup of her adorable face, but she was too slobbery! |
 |
| I love how this shot captures Shasta's sweet personality. |
A random dog.

| Of course the photo of some random stranger's dog is in perfect focus. |
And here we're getting ready to leave the park. Shasta waits for her best friend, Daddy, to catch up.
I had a high proportion of photos from this day of shooting that were badly out of focus; many more than from other days of dog park shooting. As I mentioned above, everything was set to automatic, so I'm not sure why. When I got home and tried to upload the photos to my computer, I did find the battery was dead, so I'm wondering if a weak battery could have affected somehow.
This is a blog about me learning to be a better photographer, so if you have tips or suggestions, please, feel free.
