Second shot is a neat angle... I like it. How wide angle of a lens is that?

[winkie]

where was the camera/you positioned to take the second shot?

[gmen]

The second shot is really peachy. Good work.

I love the second one!!! I sure hope that was a remote shot...;-)

[superdiver]

How did you keep from getting "hooved".....LOL...

GREAT perspective!

[Photorebel]

That second shot is a classic ...or destined to be one.

[comandosvr]

thanks everyone.
the set up on the 2nd shot was: 20D, 15mm 2.8, manfrotto tapletop tripod, 1/2000 at f4, fired by remote by the side of the course. you must keep still as the horses approach. (of course!)
I had to ask permission from the clerk of the course, who wasn't to happy at first. when she saw the shots after, they bought an A2 mounted print as well as the 1st shot.

You wouldn't think the underside back end of a horse would be a good picture... But thats brilliant.. well done :)

[Redfish]

Those are great shots - The first could benefit from just a touch more contrast - it will make the horse "pop" more. A little more Unsharp mask will help to define the muscles on the horse as well

Nicely done with the composition

Yes! I agree the 2nd is brilliant. Look forward to seeing more of your shots!

# 2 is an excellent shot! I'd buy it.......(if I didn't have to pay for all this L i'm carrying aroud in my bag.
If you don't mind me asking.....what do you charge for the A2 (non mounted) print?

I charged the racecourse approx US$65. If you would seriously like a copy I could let you have 1 very cheap as a photography freind. maybe $15 + postage. Let me know!!

Thanks, I have a go at adding a touch of contrast & USM and maybe post the result.
