Here are a couple pictures I took today with my 400D and 100mm f2.8 macro lens. This puppy was so full of energy that most of my pictures were just a blur. I got lucky on a couple. He was way worse than any kid about posing and being still.
I know what you talk about with quick dogs! I found this one.. Filled with good advice:
HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH A PUPPY
-Remove film from box and load camera
-Remove film box from puppy's mouth and throw in garbage -Remove puppy from garbage and brush coffee grounds from muzzle -Choose a suitable background for photo -Mount camera on tripod and focus -Find puppy and take dirty sock from mouth -Place puppy in pre-focused spot and return to camera -Forget about spot and crawl after puppy on knees -Focus with one hand and fend off puppy with other hand -Get tissue and clean nose print from lens -Put cat outside and put peroxide on the scratch on puppy's nose -Put magazines back on coffee table -Try to get puppy's attention by squeaking toy over your head -Replace your glasses and check camera for damage -Jump up in time to grab puppy and say, "No, outside!"
-Call spouse to clean up mess
-Fix a drink
-Sit back in Lazy Boy with a stiff drink and resolve to teach puppy 'sit and 'stay' first thing in the morning
Very cute puppy , I myself have been practicing trying to improve on my doggy shots with my XTI and I have taken a few shots slowly getting it right (I think).
First one is with my 50mm 1.8 and the second one is with my 28-105 at night time with heaps of flood lights around at a dog show ground.
