Thanks everyone for your kind words.
Originally posted by szurinaga omg what wonderful contrast. I will definitely think about this photo if I decide to buy that lens. How did you get your dog to stay so still, I have the hardest time with my lab! Kudos
It's a Border Collie! I had the ball in one hand, up in the air and in my other hand the camera. It took a lot of practice to get used taking pictures with one hand, especially because the Tamron isn't very light and I also have a battery grip on the camera.
I told Pr1mo to wait and when the ball's in sight, he immediately freezes.
Oh, and I can highly recommend this lens, I'm totally hooked on it. I use it for portraits and action shots (fast dogs) too.
BTW, this one has also been accepted in the PPG.
