Anyway as some may be aware, i recently got the 70-200 f2.8 IS and i'm loving it.... heres a couple of shots from different days, not had time to do any editing so these are just straight un-edited jpegs from the camera no PP

well if i write it really small it might not seem so bad..... £1060

I'm just glad that i've not been dissapointed with it! I had my doubts when the money dissapeared out of my bank but after looking at the shots all my doubts flew out the window..... :D

I got it from 'Kerso' who sells on here and eBay, compared to the likes of jessops & warehouseexpress his prices are much more reasonable!

Are you riding tomorrow or doing photos??? or both.... maybe a few shots as you go round??? :lol:

Anyway good luck on sunday! I'm shooting my local pony clubs summer show tomorrow, i'm absolutely bricking it!!! my first proper event as an 'official photographer' they have got 7 different rings running and just poor me running round like a headless chicken between em all...... i see a disaster about to happen! :lol:

Great shots there! :)

Maybe next time you should also try 'n get a picture where the horse is actually facing you. All these pics were made from the side or cross. I've seen your pics on your website, so I know you are pretty good at it!..just a little thing that I noticed with this particular series.

Hi Clare18 , Re: MKEC

Enjoy yourself tommorrow but just be aware there are two resident photographers paying to be there one is John and the other is Paul both . They don't work on the same days but one of them will be there possibly Paul if it's dressage .

My advice would be just let them know what you are doing as they are both very approachable unless you take their bread and butter .

Great Shots Steve. Timing, sharpness, and a nice smooth background on most. I would agree with the other poster on getting more than just profile shots. I like the almost head-on magazine cover type shots quite a bit.
