Large Format Hank

I've attempted a few large format shots of Hank over the past number of weeks.  Most of them didn't work, because the little pup is so hyper that he is constantly on the go.  He is a going concern with energy to burn and just won't sit still.  Not really well suited to large format, existing light photography.  But these two images turned out reasonably well.

The first one... with the boot, was taken late August, in the front yard, with a 200mm lens.  The second one, was actually taken about ten days or so prior, when Hank was about 8 weeks old.  That was August 15th.  I shot it in the back yard with a 400mm telephoto lens.  Both were taken with a shutter speed of 1/15 second, and both times I managed to catch him in one of the brief moments when he held fairly still.  I had to use faster 400 iso film, and keep the lens fairly wide open, which resulted in the softer background.
