I had never heard of Happy National Dog Day, but apparently that's today according to my wife. So, I've uploaded this action-packed shot of my cocker spaniel, Teddy, who loves to run and is full of energy. With his little legs, he runs circles around my great Pyrenees, Princey, who stands quite a bit taller on long legs. To make this shot, I lay prone on the ground so the camera was actually below Teddy's face. I like this kind of perspective a lot because it makes the shot a lot more engaging, intimate, and dynamic. I used AI servo so the camera focus-tracked Teddy as he ran to me, and my settings were 1/1000th of a second at f/7.1 and 800 ISO. I shot this with 6 frames per second on a Canon 5D Mark III.

Jim Zuckerman - Glad it started your day off nicely, Barbara. Teddy starts my day well every morning. I wake up and he's snuggled between my wife and I on the bed.
