Big Red

The first 4 shots are super. Fun play on the pan in the last shot.

For next time, since i know you like to play, maybe try flash with dragging the shutter while on a tripod -

Cheers!

That is a great idea. I do love to play My major concern is if the flash frightens the horses?? Will have to ask the riders. There is also little time to set up. You rush from one place to another following the hunt through paddocks in a 4x4 trying to keep up with the riders. It will become easier as I become more familiar with their runs however. The other thing I want to do is set up a remote camera with a very wide angle lens very close to the jumps.

Great work RM! From these samples it looks like you'll be busy.

Thanks Lorey.


It is through a mate who is involved with the club, and for me it is also a bit a social thing as well. I have made it clear that I wont make it a commitment, but will go out when and where it suits me. Also, as I want to be a bit creative and not only document jumps photos, I have told them that they will get what they get, and I may not capture every rider or every jump. In that way there is no pressure and I can treat it as a hobby not a job.


At this stage I am not charging them (although I may offer to sell some prints).

Truly wonderful images showing the raw power of these incredible animals. I'm sure any of the riders would be well pleased with your efforts
