Dogs Tarraq an Nova playfighting. Thomas Bakke says: "After buying my first "processional" lens I wanted to test it out the same afternoon. I shoot some pictures of the dogs as they were running around playing. At one point they more or less ran in to each other and jumped up. When I got home I found out that I had captured this picture. This is what truly got me interested in photography."
The dog photography of Thomas Bakke, Norway - 2016
FULL WORDS: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/stqf
The relationship between one man and his dog has resulted in an amazing photographic partnership.
Thomas Bakke, from Norway, always enjoyed hikes with his four-legged friend Tarraq, but it was his early shots of the energetic canine that fostered an impressive interest in documenting their time together.
The results feature spectacular images of the five-year-old Saarloos Wolfhound breed dog set against jaw-dropping landscapes.
Highlights include Tarraq leaping between two huge boulders, as well as backdrops of mountain ranges, rivers and waterfalls.

Emperor Penguins, Snow Hill, Antarctica. Paul says: "Way down in Antarctica on the eastern peninsular I was stuck in the ice for a week along with 100 people. Off the stern of the ship we watched Emperor penguins on their migratory routes. You had to gamble where they were going to come up so virtually impossible to get the shot, but once one had jumped you could bet the others would follow, in this instance 'more is more' - this was the only time three jumped simultaneously."

With Saturday (25 April) being World Penguin Day, wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein has shared some of his favourite pictures of the aquatic, flightless birds.
Wimbledon-based Paul, who guides for Exodus Travels, has led many expeditions to the poles on small ice-breakers, so has had great opportunites to document penguin behaviour.
He explains: "I love the polar bears of the North but there is something magical about the penguins down South that entrance me. Yes it can be a mission to get there but it is palpably worth it.

Flights of Fancy: Paul Goldstein's 'In The Air' Wildlife Photography
For photographers, capturing animals in the wild is an art that can take years to master.
But wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein has taken his work to new heights by shooting animals frozen in the air as they leap.
His work sees stunning images showing jumping animals ranging from wildebeest to polar bears.
They include a dramatic flying fight between a baboon and a leopard and the cute, bouncy interaction between a pair of serval kittens.
Paul explains: "Mammals and indeed penguins cannot fly, it would be a physiological miracle if it occurred, but it is wonderful to see them try. It also is rare, which is why I like photographing it as it is a huge challenge. If the shot is successful it always elicits a good response.
"For the money shot there must be no part of the animal attached to a tree/branch/ice or rock. It does not matter if it is an 'air's breath' away, but just nothing touching.
"Air looms high on my agenda, I am obsessed by it, it is exciting photography and frequently original."
Describing the moment the baboon ambushed the leopard, Paul says: "Prime Mates? I don't think so, these are mortal enemies and a whole troop of baboons had 'treed' this young male leopard in the Masai Mara.
"Eventually they left, except one male that waited for the predators descent and jumped out at him. It gave the leopard a good dry slap then the leopard legged it and vaporised in seconds as is their wont.
"Whilst leopards will sometimes kill single baboons, they will avoid whole troops assiduously as they can turn on them. One of my favourite ever photos."
Regarding the polar bear cubs in Spitsbergen, Paul says: "What a morning. Seven polar bears in four hours many nautical miles from land in Spitsbergen. These two cub...

That's Mine! Fox Pup Makes Sure Chipmunk Is On The Menu
These wildlife images show a fox pup steal a dead chipmunk from his mother just after she had returned from hunting.
The greedy pup even ran off to make sure he could keep the prey for himself and didn't have to share with his siblings.
The images were taken by wildlife photographer Richard Dumoulin in a national park in Quebec, Canada.
The mother red fox returned from hunting with a chipmunk, a mole and a sausage to feed her cubs, however one of her children was obviously starving as the cheeky pup jumped on the tasty treat and set off down the road to eat it himself.
"It was hilarious how brazen the pup was.
"It was obvious he wanted the biggest catch and didn't give his brothers and sisters a look in," said Richard.
The mother fox made no attempt to chase after her naughty pup.

Looking for a new ornament for your home? How about a possum with a doll's head?
Perhaps a goldfish with a pheasant for a head and feet from a blackbird might look good on your mantelpiece?
These and other oddities have been created by wacky taxidermist Andrew Lancaster.
Born in North Yorkshire, but now living in New Zealand, Andrew specialises in creating weird animal hybrids.
The 53-year-old started taxidermy 14 years ago, after moving from Britain, but only began creating his fantasy creatures in the last two years.
He explains: "I would see lots of animals by the side of the road and think it was a shame they would be wasted. Now I usually pull over and head back to pick them up. I would never hurt any animals myself"

The Scene at the Top of Beachy Head
GRIEVING PARENTS LEAP TO DEATH WITH BODY OF SON
A grieving couple have committed suicide following the death their son.
Neil Puttick, 34, and his wife Kazumi, 44, leapt to their deaths at Beachy Head in Eastbourne, while carrying the body of their five-year-old son Sam.
The desperate act came just hours after the youngster, who had been paralysed from the neck down in a car crash as a baby, died from meningitis.
The three bodies were found by coastguards around 400ft down the cliffside.
Sam's body was found in a rucksack near to his parents. A second rucksack was found to contain children's toys.
Chief Inspector Dick Coats of Sussex Police said officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
Sam was left paralysed when he was 16 months old after his baby chair was thrown out of a car during a crash.
Charity worker Neil and translator Kazumi - originally from Japan - gave up their jobs in order to care for their son.
They went on to raise around GBP 30,000 in order to adapt their home - a cottage in Brokerswood, Wiltshire.
However, tragedy struck when Sam contracted viral meningitis. After being told by doctors that there was no way to save him the Puttick's took him home to die, which he did on Friday (29 May).
Less than 48 hours later, on Sunday (31 May), Neil and Kazumi drove to Beachy Head with the body of their son as part of a suicide pact.
The cliffs at Beachy Head reach up to about 600ft (180m) high and are a suicide black spot.
According to Coastguard Stuart McNab, who recovered the three bodies, an average of 20 people jump from the cliffs every year.
The Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team was set up in 2004 to patrol the area in an attempt to prevent suicides.
