Action Pics -- Camera Question

Here are some of my action shots...they usually come out blurry lol

If it does you could set it up to take alot of pictures, one right after another (ours will take up to 45). Maybe this would help with the slow fire? Just a thought!

Phred!!!! Thanks much!! Great Instructions and funny too...

I tried again and made some progress this morning.

This one isn't part of the blurring experimentation this morning.
This is Oz, during the experimentation, wanting to know why I'm
all a sudden so interested in taking boring ole pictures of shrubs,
when I could be taking beautiful shots of his glorious mug.

Thanks for the additions wolfsoul!

Hi Anna! Yeh I'm gonna have to get out the manual and play
around with the settings some more, cuz with good lighting, it
just seems like it should shoot faster.

Ok, so I just have to post this one of Jack - all 4 feet off the ground! What a weirdo!

That's a good one Jack'sMom!

Like Phred says, it takes some practising to get it right. His advise is excellent!

Another tip is to make sure the red eye setting is on OFF, as that will make it slower.

An action shot of our Inka ! Sorry, this is NOT a doggie, but it is a great shot, hey

Lut that IS a great pic of Inca!

Phred described it perfectly. You have to move the camera quickly to blur the background. The camera has to be moving at the same pace as your dog, and the faster your dog is going the more blurred your background will be.

Since my shelties only have two speeds.. fast and faster.... I've had a lot of practice. Thank doG for digitals.....
Here are some examples.....

Thanks for the super examples.
What settings do you use on your camera?

**Shelteez2** · 07-16-2004, 07:58 PM

The same settings that are always on the camera... I never change them except to change the white balance from indoor to outdoor. Other than that it atumatically focuses... I just have to point and shoot.

Wow great shots! I've gotten some nice action shots here lately, never noticed to be honest if I moved the camera with the dog though, I bet that's why some come out nice and clear and others not so much lol!
