  Hi Guys,
  
  I just love to photograph animals – and blog about it, which is why I joined this wonderful community.
  
  On top pf my photographers website I just put together a photography training site, which has tons of free content and tips. In particular I have a free e-book on photographing moving animals, which I thought might help all of you who run your own animal related blogs. I’d be interested for any feedback as to whether it is helpful.
  
  I’d also be interested to hear from any of you who may want to have a special link on your blog if you think that your readers might also be interested.
  
  I guess I’m just interested in any advice any of you may have to help me spread the love for photographing animals. Personally I can’t think of many better uses for a camera…
  
  To obtain my free e-book on photographing moving animals – available to all blog-paws members just go to my training website http://www.artybart.com/blog-paws! I hope it helps you in your blogging!
  
  Happy blogging to you all!

  You’ve got some lovely shots on there, really crisp with great depth of field. Usually mine are running towards me and my camera can never focus quick enough to get it sharp!

  Well I have a nikon D7000 with a 50mm that I like but more often than not I’m just whipping out my iphone!

  D7000 eh?
  
  It’s not your focus on your DSLR. On that model you can set it to focus tracking – so that it tracks moving objects. You’ll need to look at your continuous focus settings in your manual – it’s a lot easier than it sounds – I have a camera body very similar to this (D7200) which some of my photos will be taken on.
  
  See how you go 🙂

  Oh – and I would also suggest trying out the continuous high speed shooting with your focus tracking. If it’s anything like the d7200 as you look at the view finder it is on the wheel on the top left “Ch”

  Thanks! We have the sit and pose pictures down, but I fail at capturing the dogs while they are running or playing. I will check out your e-book.

  I too, love taking pictures of my dogs while they are in motion! Here’s one I took of one of our Chihuahuas, Noah. I took it with my Nikon Coolpix 🙂
