    Great peak action Jane!

  • Jane Best replied

    Thanks jadeast. Maybe my photography basic rule #2 should be “Expect the unexpected.” Rule #1 being “Take the camera with you.”

    fantastic action shot, brilliant lighting and composition

  • Jane Best replied

    Thank you, Angela. A week later, I tried some more action shots of my dog leaping off a dock into water. THe dog was out of focus in every shot so I had to delete all of them. Oh well, won’t give up trying.

    THanks, ,Joanne. Heehee, maybe I should print a copy out and paste it on my ceiling so I can count the sheep at night! Great idea. :-)
