PLAYING BALL

SOUTHPORT BEACH

A busy day today at work, and a get together with friends at lunchtime, meant that I would have to get a shot on my way to work, or take an indoor shot tonight. Fortunately, my first call was in Southport at 10.00 so I decided to drive via the beach and see what I could come up with. I saw this dog playing 'fetch' and did a pan shot to emphasize the action. A couple of hours after I took this, the rain started to arrive and got steadily worse into the afternoon. I was SOOOO glad I got my shot early on.

Comments are welcome and greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This works well Graham, blured and out of focus, makes it full of energy of a young puppy let loose on a beach with a ball. It communicates everything it needs too. I like it.

Difficult shot especially in the weather conditions we have been getting.
Well done.

Seems I got the short straw again!! Yet more rain... I quite like the overall blurred effect!
