Practice with Gracie

A few weeks ago, I mentioned I'd purchased a new camera body.  It's made especially for action photography, such as bird, wildlife, and sports photography.  It can shoot 10 frames per second at very high ISO settings, which makes it perfect for stopping the action.  I'm getting daily practice with the new camera using Gracie as my subject.  Every afternoon we head to the backyard and I throw her toss toys and she retrieves them.  She loves this time outdoors and I get to practice shooting fast moving objects.  Her favorite toy is the orange  dumbbell, but she really enjoys all her toys.

  1. Wow! Those are great shots, Karen, and I can tell that you're having at least as much fun as Gracie!

  2. I was! She's plays with such reckless abandon that I enjoy watching and photographing her.

  3. I think she is one cute dog! Not bad pictures either. 10 frames a second, got to love that.

  4. These shots really capture Gracie's personality, Karen. And she sure is photogenic. What a lovable, adorable little girl she is!

  5. P.S. It occurs that this really is a series of wild-life action shots.

  6. Yes! She's my wild-life subject. Hopefully, with some winter weather, I'll get some other kinds too.
