Just a couple of photos of my border collie Shadow doing what she does best. Taken with the Sigma 120-300, she's a hard dog to track when she gets moving!

The detail in the face of the second one is superb. Good eye contact, too.

Really love the second shot too. Perfect doggy portrait.

Excellent images- both. You managed to capture the fun and cleverness of the animal. Not that Shadow would ever thinks himself of nothing else but a person.

...border collie Shadow doing what she does best...

It brought memories of my dear Rex, also a border collie. Rex had such a wonderful an vibrant personality. Whenever I tooke him for a walk and sombody would stop me to say what a beautiful dog he was Rex would look at me then at the person talking to me then he would wag his tail and woolf-woolf happily saying to the person in his canine way "...yes, he is not but looking... wooolf!"

good photos very good details ........

So much detail and your dog is SO CUTE I'm so amused at the dog tailing behind!
I have a shetland so I love collies too

for me, i love the first. really captures the moment. A great capture, I know how fast they can be.

Great shot Brett, both are really nice. Your panning experience with cars were probably put to the test trying to track your border collie

My only nit on the first one is the blown highlights on the slide, otherwise it's hard to pick a favourite.

cheers,

Thanks all, yes the slide is annoying and there is no real way to crop it out unless I try a clone job, which I won't.

You appreciate how quick they really are at changing direction when you try and get them having fun. Much harder than cars
