action shot goes wrong

[Mad Murphy]

When they go well the action shots are WOW

But sometimes they go a bit wrong and then its OMG !!!
Two dogs charging at full speed towards me , no where for me to go Im crouched in the grass one minute and flat on my back the next staring at the sky wondering what hit me and all the while I still have me finger on the shutter button!

Luckily no harm done to me or the camera except a very wet bum!

LOL Yes! Taking dog action shots is certainly a full contact, dangerous sport! Awesome pic by the way with the tennis ball, WOW!
