When capturing dogs in action, selecting the appropriate equipment is crucial to maximize your chances of success. This entails understanding the key features to prioritize in both camera and lens selection. For the camera, prioritize models with a high FPS capability (at least 5 fps), dependable autofocus, and continuous focus mode. Utilizing a fast lens with a maximum aperture of 2.8, which also offers rapid focusing, facilitates capturing those perfect airborne dog shots. While I typically favor zoom lenses for dogs approaching the camera due to their focal length versatility, prime lenses (fixed focal length) like the 200mm F/2 can also yield exceptional results. Currently, my preferred setup consists of a Nikon Z9 paired with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, although most intermediate to advanced cameras are capable of achieving similar outcomes. Even with my initial camera, a Nikon D7200, I managed to capture dogs in motion, albeit with added difficulty.
One session that will always hold a special place in my heart is the day I met Echo, a playful pup with boundless energy and a heart full of love. As he bounded through the fields with his favorite toy in tow, I knew I had to capture the pure joy radiating from his every movement. And when I looked at the final image, frozen in mid-air, I couldn’t help but smile at the magic we’d created together.
Mastering the art of freezing motion requires more than just technical know-how—it’s about understanding the rhythm and energy of each individual dog. From setting the perfect shutter speed to maintaining focus, it’s a delicate dance that I’ve honed through years of practice and perseverance.
