184 – Motion Blur
I used Topaz Lens Effects to make this the panning shot it shoulda been. This is Tillman the Skateboarding Bulldog.
If you’ve never heard of Tilly, watch this:
This is what English Bulldogs do. They have an aptitude. Check out Tyson, Darla, or Rosie…just YouTube “skateboarding bulldog” and you will be floored.
Our bully has his own skateboard, a present from his “grandma.” He’s a huge male and he’s too wide for it, but that didn’t stop him from riding it right into the wall and putting a dent into the drywall. The skateboard became an outside toy right quick.

Very talented dogs. Yours seems to enjoy it. I can see the motion in your pic too.

The lens effect simulated the panning effect vey nicely!

What a cool shot — and a cool dog. I like how you caught his front paw in the air!

Unfortunately Tilly isn’t my dog…I was lucky enough to photograph and meet him though at a local event he came to. We have an English Bullie named Monty. He’ll probably make it into a post at some point.
