Thanks Janice. They are all panned actually, but some of them have really slow shutter speeds (1/160 and 1/200 respectively) for some major motion blur. Normally I shoot at around 1/1000 to 1/6400 depending on available light to stop action.
Actually, the motion blur was what I was referring to. I wasn't all that clear. The slower shutter speed highlights that you are following the dogs. I like that more often as a shooting technique when that is an option.
Thanks Janice. I agree, I love either using motion blur or shooting wide open for an extremely shallow DOF. Trouble is whippets run at 37mph and you have about a second and a half to pan fast enough to give you whiplash as they go by. Too often I opt for the easier shot of stopping down a little and speeding up a lot for a much higher keeper rate. Even with the lower keeper rate, those more risky shots have enough impact to make it worth it.
Note to self: grow a bigger pair.
LOL The littler dogs are indeed much difficult to track. One day I must try shooting dogs in the daylight. What a concept
I hate shooting indoors. I do a few horse shows inside in the winter but really no matter how well you can capture a moment in an indoor arena they don't come even close to as pretty as outdoor shots. Thankfully I think I only have one or two more indoor shows before they are all outside again - I can't WAIT.

I agree with the rest. Outstanding photos all of them. I really like the low angles too.
