I was at a loss as to what to shoot for this challenge. So yesterday after I set up the sprinkler to water the backyard, my dog Crash, was out with me and he just LOVES playing in the water. He started playing in the sprinkler and I was just standing there laughing at him and then it hit me, there was my 'Action Shot.' I ran into the house and grabbed the camera and ended up taking 40 shots of my pup having fun playing in the sprinkler!
