Nice one, Russ. How many takes were needed to get them synchronized?   ;)

Thanks, Eric. I shot two frames. But the coordination is between the shoes and the dog's collar. At least the color's evidently as close as the woman could get them.

In the people/dog world I live in, it's not truly coordinated until the leash as well as the harness and her shoes are the same color family. My Abbey Schnauzer has red leash and harness; however, my shoes are white. Oh well   :D

Well, you'll just have to get some red shoes, Pup. You can't be coordinated with your dog without them.

Since the woman appears to be walking away and the dog is coming toward the camera I was wondering how long it was going to take for the dog to wrap the leash around her, unhook the collar and escape...  ;)

Hi Russ,

A very nice modern take on the work of Elliott Erwitt (http://iconicphotos.wordpress.com/2012/02/09/elliott-erwitt-dogs-and-contact-sheets/) and I think Elliot needed quite a few more shots than two to get his image.

I like the way the two appear to be walking in opposite directions, yet have a balanced symmetry of step.

Very nice indeed.

Dave

Thanks, Dave. That little dog was all over the place, Mike. It immediately turned around the started walking with her.
