Last week’s image was of a Golden Retriever clearing a jump on a nice, sunny day. Today’s photo shows you that agility competitions are not always blessed with wonderful weather, but the contest continues!

This shot came from a competition in Broomfield, Massachusetts, held in October of 2006. The morning conditions were abysmal with rain and wind sending everyone looking for a place to stay dry and warm.
None of the weather could hold back this Border Collie blasting through the chute and sending water flying everywhere!!
Technical Details
This shot was taken with a Canon EOS 1D MkII, using a 70-200 F2.8L lens. Due to the weather, I had to push the ISO up to 1600, so that I could get this shot at 1/400 second at f/4.5. Clearly, it’s not a perfect image, but it got the sense of the day across rather effectively.
