as part of the very popular and extremely active 52 Weeks for Dogs group that i created on flickr last year, devoted to one-year projects of weekly photos of your dog, we sometimes present a weekly challenge for members to take part in. challenges have ranged from depth-of-field, selective focus, b&w treatment, pop culture, and this week: action blur.
as I lay in bed last night, an image suddenly formed in my mind which i felt would answer the challenge perfectly. all that was left was to figure out how to execute it with all three scruffies. i shouldn’t have continued setting up the shot beyond the initial click. the first one nailed it …

… my lounging girl, a disdainful aslan looking on, and merrick — a constant blur in our world.
enjoy your weekend, everyone! i hope it’s not a blur!
added note for all you techies: no, there are no special effects or extra photoshopping tricks here. this shot was accomplished through a slow shutter speed and good dog-wranglin’.
