Photo flops: high speed wagging

Linking up with Dawn at Just Look and You Will See for Photo Flops - Week 2.


It's not easy photographing a bouncy puppy. Can you see her tail wagging at high speed? I was on auto focus using a Canon DSLR. 

I could try the sport/action setting, but would appreciate tips on manual settings to capture a high speed wag.

Dawn, perhaps you should re-name your linky animal photo flops :-)

  1. Personally I would use a faster shutter speed and the continuous pictures option that way you will get several shots in quick succession and hopefully a clearer shot of her tail.

    If all else fails I build a sky light in the roof in case she starts to take off and fly, that is a very fast tail wag.

    Thank you for joining in Lesley, I've also tweeted the question for you so hopefully you will soon get an answer.

    1. Thanks Dawn :-) When the subject moves so quickly I'm not quick enough to focus and adjust manually. I need loads more practice.
