WA#410 Joy Ride

My dog just loves taking rides in the car!

Note: No animals were harmed in the making of this picture, but I am pretty sure that the dog was slightly embarassed by the whole thing.

Comments are always appreciated.

Beautiful! Except, if you are in the car, who took the picture? It's always a paradox.

Ok, I confess....I added the motion blur AFTER the shot was taken, but I am confident that if the state laws allowed it, this dog COULD drive the car.

Everything else about the shot is pretty much authentic.

I like seeing how other folks set up their shots, so here is a quick picture of the setup and the dog's "trainer" who helped make this possible.

Thank goodness for the Canon RC1 Wireless Remote.

I would never be able to find models who would be willing to work with me!

Very clever. My dog likes riding in cars too but he hasn't passed the drivng test yet.

Hi Eager...

Now that's a creative take on the assignment!

Great thinking, implementation and presentation.

It looks like a snapshot, rather than a staged shot ... adds 'credibility', nicely done.

You can always see about getting a provisional "dog" license......

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thanks so much!

It took a lot of work to stage this enough to make it look "natural". I would never have survived using actual film instead of digital. I actually took over 100 shots to get this one that worked for me.

This is one very, very patient dog.

That's OK. Half the drivers in California probably haven't either!!
