Hi,
I've been a semi pro for a decade or more now and specialise in photographing gun dogs, in particular I have a lot of contact with the world of Hungarian Vizslas. This breed is one of the fastest dogs and most agile dogs around and I'm doing my post work after my latest shoot when I come across these four rejects. I thought it might illustrate some of the difficulties in capturing decent photographs of any energetic breed. Shooting at what was probably around 10 frames per second, the images illustrate less than half a second of work. The dog leaps out of the heather, jumps round through 90° and disappears again. The first two are shaky as I try to track and shoot, the third is great but a foot is out of the frame and by the fourth it's all too late.

All are rejects.

Such is life.

I was wondering what are some crosses are that you bear?

Just realized I posted 7DII images (I was using two cameras) sorry about that!
 
You need a shutter speed of 1/1600 minimum. In MHO.
