Greyhound Action Shots
Inspired by an addition to a recent thread, I thought it would be nice to see if any of my Axel action shots work....I've taken a fair few, but most aren't the right angle, with no sweeping background and not sharp enough for me....this is where I would benefit from an slr I think.
Please add your own Greyhound action shots if you have any
Also, if anyone lives local to me and would like a Greyhound to shoot in action, you're welcome to borrow Axel!

Nice set Melanie. I have to say image 3 stands out well for me, great shot, also Number 7. 
Not the easiest thing to do getting the shot in focus when you are trying to capture your dog in action......

Thanks guys, glad you like them It is difficult and I've learnt the benefits of good natural light recently in helping to get half decent shots.
Love the Greyhound shots posted thanks, even the hairy and small and hairy ones

You've done well - certainly not an easy subject.
Number 3 would be my choice and you've got to love the facial expression in the last shot.
