Hi All,

Here's a couple from my recent first attempt at shooting a show jumping event, 350D/70-200 f4 "L".

Hope you enjoy, C&C welcome

Capturing equestrian shots is about timing. The riders love shots where the horse has the front legs tucked well up over the jump. In a situation where there are lots of spectators a differentioal focus is need to seperate the image subject, from the back ground. Image 2 does this fairly well but is to much directly from of the rear of the subject to make an appealing shot.

Thanks for the comments guys, will post another couple under a new thread Lenzflair, see what you make of them.

Thanks

Alan
