Helpful Posts: Some may remember my last thread back in December (not sure how to put a link in) where I introduced Rusty, a sad little dog who adopted us on Christmas day
MOD COMMENT: Link here: Rusty
Rusty has done well and is now physically fully recovered and his training continues. The shots below are from his first trip a few days ago to the foreshore when the tide was right out and we could let him run wild
No 1
No 2
No 3
No 4
All shot with the D300 and Tamron 70-300mm, I need to teach him to stop before the good gear gets used

Re: Rusty - Progress update and action shots
Nice captures Grahame. I think Rusty knew who to pick as his owner
He looks happy.

Re: Rusty - Progress update and action shots
Welcome back, Grahame. I've missed your posts. Nice to see you posting again. Yes I remember Rusty. He is looking good and your pp makes it more so. I like all these shots especially #2 and #3. He seems to be having the time of his life...

Re: Rusty - Progress update and action shots
3 & 4 are awesome, congrats on the dog and his choosing you. I can see the thrill in the dog's face, nothing but exuberance. Also...good to hear that you are okay, I was wondering, given the rather severe storm you all just experienced.

Re: Rusty - Progress update and action shots
Gotta love those ears in the shots above
(made me smile)
I have added a link to the original thread Grahame.
He seems much better now, well done.
Cheers, Dave

Re: Rusty - Progress update and action shots
Your series tell a wonderful story! As I went through the photos, I began to wonder if he would stop when he got to you! You've certainly captured his heart! I like them all. They are clear, concise and well done!

Re: Rusty - Progress update and action shots
Firstly, apologies all for the late reply but we are still suffering from mains power outage, limited generator capacity, dodgy internet connection and cold showers
. A very small price to pay considering what so many have suffered over here after cyclone Winston.
I'm pleased you have enjoyed the pics and I have to say I was thrilled with the results as it was my first go at trying to catch a dog in flight
One of the things that surprised me with all the shots is how he maintained eye contact with the camera, a natural model

Re: Rusty - Progress update and action shots
Just goes to show how grateful he is that you rescued him. He will be a good companion for you from henceforward. Sorry about the power loss...
