milton dog photographer | Check out Chase the Vizsla’s photo session! His name is perfect and best describes a Vizsla. All the Vizsla lovers know the character and loyalty of these majestic dogs. Let’s start here, they need 4 hours of exercise a day and that is probably not enough, ha-ha. I swear they run on solar power! They love to look out for birds, they gallop through the woods like they are on a mission, they are fast, they are never still, but even better, they are loyal. They stick to you like Velcro. They can spend hours cuddled up on you, and I mean ON YOU when you are relaxing on the couch. My dog is part Vizsla, I can relate. Chase was a blast to photograph and let me add, he is only 7 months. You can imagine the energy level of a 7 month Vizsla. It made for such a fun shoot.
The day I arrived home from the shoot, I posted a sneak peek on Facebook. It was a shot of Chase jumping towards the camera. Click here to see the photo I’m writing about. I loved reading everyone’s comments. There was a comment that popped up a few times. “What timing? What a lucky shot? This must have been hard to capture?” I have to say, there was no luck involved. I have been perfecting this shot and capturing it for years. It is a shot Leash Out is recognized for and I’m very proud of it. All I need is an interactive dog to give me the shot and my with experience, I’m confident I will get the shot. This particular photo I posted on Facebook was actually the first shot of that particular series. The right timing is correct and important, but I create the timing I need. Vizsla’s are a highly active dogs and there is no room for error. Only one chance each leap. I have to be ready, set up the dogs timing in my favour, know my settings and get the heck out of the way, haha. Years of practice, hard work, love and passion for what I do has helped me accomplish these type of shots, but more importantly, knowing dogs. Oh, and staying in shape is a big plus to capturing this photo.
Check out Chase’s sneak peek, enjoy! Have a great Family Day long weekend.
