Penny is a cross Jack Russel/Corgi. She is very fast moving! I used a polarizer filter, and sports mode to get her actions. There are also 2 photographs of Scarborough from Olivers Mount. One is the kit lens - and the zoom is 300mm lens (a borrowed one). I shall take these again with better lighting conditions.

Wonderful action photos, Margaret. That Canon really performs!

Gosh, Margaret, such great action shots at the beach with Charlie. They're all so sharp and clear with great color.

The fast speed is the greatest and the shots are remarkable. Poor Charlie, he looks a little bedraggled and uncertain, yet his personality too, shines. Penny certainly shows her Jack Russel. She is a non stop whilwind. Excellent stop motion and excellent lighting even though you would wish for something more. They are really terrific! You and the Canon are a great team, and I can see that you are already salivating for your own long lens.
