Yes, I'm still convinced that dogs can fly!

I felt already pretty certain about it when posting my previous photograph on the 'Flying dog'.

My dog photography, still enjoying the 80-400mm VR lense.


This specific dog is called Yrka and the breed is called Kromfohrländer - this specific dog being a long-haired Kromfohrländer.

The Kromfohrländer is sometime said to look like a cross between a retriever and a beagle, and comes in a variety of coat thicknesses: short-haired, long haired and wire-haired. They are white with brown markings ranging from dark to light.


In 1945, American soldiers marched into Germany from France. One group, arriving in the town of Siegen, Westphalia, was accompanied by a shaggy, tawny dog. The appearance and French origin indicated a Breton Griffon. The dog was taken in by a townswoman, called Use Schleifenbaum.
"Peter" became a beloved house pet and later "fell in love" with the next-door neighbor, "Fiffi," a female of uncertain pedigree, but possibly Fox Terrier extraction.
The resulting puppies were uniform and so handsome that Mrs. Schleifenbaum decided to develop them into a new breed.
Ten years later, in 1955, she succeeded in having the German Kennel Club officially recognize them. A new breed was born!

Dennis,

Hij is geweldig. Mooi op de gevoelige plaat ehhh sensor gezet. Goed sherp dus goede panning. Even een vraag: hoe komt het dat de haren achterin de nek nou juist niet scherp zijn?
Kan me goed voorstellen dat de VR lens een aanwinst is, bij mij hetzelfde.

Nogmaals dank voor de toegestuurde info: heb er wat aan gehad.

Groeten,

Edwin

Hoi Dennis.
Voor my is ie op weg naar het eerste honk, toch ?
Of had ie peper in zijn r...?
Vroeger hadden we thuis een hond van een overspannen duiter als logé. Ja, FIFFi heette dat kleine kreng.
Alleen mijn kleine zusje kon aan zijn eten komen.
Totdat ze in haar gezicht werd gebeten.!
Snelle foto, good action shot.
Jan

Een bijna-perfecte foto, Dennis. Helemaal perfect zou meer plaats aan de linkerkant zijn. Om dat effect ook te bereiken zou je er rechts wat kunnen afsnijden...
Perfect meegepand, en met 1/500 is ie wel erg scherp. Met een lagere snelheid zou je ook de achtergrond motion blur meegeven en de hond er nog meer van losmaken. Maar dan wordt het meepannen weer moeilijker, en ik weet uit ervaring dat het zo al niet makkelijk is.
Mooie hond, en een perfecte beweging heb je hier vastgelegd. Mooi.
TFS

Bonjour Dennis
Excellent....
Bonne maitrise du diaphrgame et de la vitesse...
Et aussis un modele "remarquable".... ;)

Hi Dennis,
Well I commented on your first 'dogs can fly' photo and was very surprised to come to your gallery and see part 2. This is ever as good as part 1. The detail is awesome. Colors are bold and rich...a little hot in areas but I think it adds to the drama here. This looks very nice Dennis and looks like loads of fun shooting.

Hi Dennis,
This is a really fun shot! Excellent captured in "flight" it appears this dog has a lot of fun and so does his owner ;-) isn't it.
I like the speed in this shot Dennis, afine posting.
Hans

Good one Dennis, I really like it, the panning is perfect, the exposure is very good and the details are sharp. Good job of blurring the background in the PP, good work, thanks !

Wonderfully taken Dennis, great sharp detail, with a little blurring of the paws, perfect.
I assume this is the wire-haired version??
Nico

Eeeenige foto Dennis.

Heerlijk hoe die zo door het beeld vliegt!
Guitig koppie heeft-ie ook en lekker wilde haren die mee doen aan het vliegen.

Hi Dennis, very nice action shot. I love his focussed expression and the legs. The lighter chest is a little burned but not too distracting. Very good.

There should be a "flying" theme here on TL:))

An amazing catch, Dennis!
Bravo!
