It's been a while since I posted any photos, in part because it's been a while since I've done much photography (or editing of the backlog). However, I did manage a bit of a session the other weekend, and went through the shots of the Flyball demonstration by the Hillam Hot Dogs Flyball team at the Cawood Craft Festival over the August bank holiday.

Trying to get a good position was a struggle - the whole arena was (quite sensible) fenced in with orange plastic fencing, and then there's lots of obstables blocking the shots, plus you don't want to distract the dogs. However, the biggest problem is that the dogs just move so fast! Most of the shots I got ended up as junk, but a few came out OK. Attempts at panning shots were mixed, probably because the dogs are moving up and down (over jumps) as well as along - panning is probably best left to motorsport shots! The best couple are in a Flickr set, and the rest are in an album on this site. Enjoy!
