At the horse trials

We recently went to Burghley House horse trials, near Stamford (D will know where this is). It's one of the 4 top level 3 day eventing trials, and we went for the middle day, the "thrills and spills" cross country (well, everyone likes to see toffs falling off and getting covered in mud, don't they?).

I used my telephoto most of the day, to get close to the action and to try out getting some candids. I liked this one, of a lady getting ready for the rider to come down the hill. The colour image is nice and vivid too, but I guess I'm exploring mono a bit too, trying to submit an all mono LRPS panel for assessment (hopefully in Feb 09).

At the Horse Trials

Taken last weekend at Burghley House Horse Trials 3-day eventing (daaahrlings). We went with some friends for the middle day, the cross-country. Lots of thrills and spills, and more horsey folk than you can imagine. Snapped this candid of someone snapping the impending action. Mono seemed to suit the feel.
