Gear used:	OM-3Ti + 50/1.8 + F280 Flash hand-held
Diaphram:	f 5.6
Shutter speed:	1/2000
Film used:	Kodak Gold 200
Technical information:	Pre-focused at 2.5 meters, then frame, shoot, and pray. F280 was used to help "freeze" water spray.
Subject information:	This is my dog's way of coping with the long, hot, dry Arizona summers. I think collies were bred to live in the cool highlands of Scotland. This is him on our first 100F day of the year.

Excellent action shot!

Great framing in an action shot. The water drives the motion of the dog and gives the photo its life.

Nice use of FP fill flash! I guess Olympus was right that there really are uses for this!!

I hope "the collie" gets a credit. "Hon, the theme is water this time. I will get the camera and you squirt the dog."

This is how I deal with 100F days, too. Neat shot.

Great action photo. I can almost feel the water cooling down the dog. I hope you do this a lot for your dog! :)

Looks like a happy dog! Out of curiosity, why the fill flash? Why not just shoot him from the other side?
