Very good, Garlic!
Just to let you know; I contacted Dude by e-mail about the return of 'The Lagerhound Lay' and he was most delighted: "Excellent news that londis is back, pass on any necessary "drifting exactly like a barge doesn't" comments from me if the opportunity arises. Most pleased I have the website link." Keep up the good work! |

any cats in it?
|
|
By:
Don't remember 'The Orchid' ever dragging his back legs through a fence like that! Another great pic though.
|
|
By:
Yep, great photo of 'Our Kid' Garlic!
|
|
By:
brilliant photo's is this your job garlic ?
if not I think you should consider it. |
|
By:
first picture is a cracker.
|
|
By:
No, not my job but I am a very keen photographer.
To be honest, if you have a decent enough camera and fire off 20 shots as the nags take a fence, you're bound to get one good one. Obviously a high shutter speed is needed to freeze the action, and cropping the image for the best bit helps too. Because you know exactly where the action is, it's not to hard to get good horsey shots. |

One more, from 2007:
www.budfox.co.uk/hurdles_group.jpg Thanks for the nice comments too. |
|
By:
Garlic you need to get in touch with the racing post m8,your pictures should be seen by the general public imo .
|
|
By:
The second one is the best of all. I've paid for worse! Even allowing for top end modern camera advances, you have a talent. Get yourself to Cheltenham with a printer, sure you could make a few quid after racing!
|
|
By:
There's a few with 'head warmers' on there, Garlic.
Horseys to be avoided if they're that nesh, eh?! |
|
By:
The' Nice Jump' one was shot with my 50mm lens. Just a fixed focus lens but incredibly sharp and very very fast (f1.4)
It therefore lets in tons of light, and on a sunny day you could easily shoot at 1/8000th of a second exposure. That sort of speed freezes pretty much anything in sport (with the possible exception of an ice hockey puck) Again though, I fired off 20 shots at high speed to get one good one. |
|
By:
those pictures are top quality,send them into the racing post garlic,good luck.

Small query - what was the light like at Wincanton this afternoon?
|
|
By:
The light was woeful. Flat and overcast.
Only Adobe Lightroom partially saved me. |
|
By:
get Aperture londis ffs man
|
|
By:
All this photo-tech stuff has lost me.
Point and press the button, me. |
|
By:
What camera do you use mate?
Photography's my hobby as well. |
|
By:
If you're firing off 20 shots in burst, you must be using a serious bit of gear like a Canon 1D or Nikon D3.
|
|
By:
prob built his own (sticky out tongue smiley)
|
|
By:
Fantastic pics from the 50mm. Very reasonable lens. The Canon 50mm 1.4 is only about £250. I may have to take a look.
The Ruby Walsh pic has superb bokeh (out of focus background) for such a reasonable lens |

Nikon D700
Quite simply awesome. I have the 24-70mm Nikon f2.8 which I used for today's photos. (£3k in kit and worth every penny) The long shot was taken with a consumer grade Sigma 70-300 and shot as a .jpg on a Nikon D70. I have to say that the D700 with the finest zoom lens ever made is something which is a priviledge to use. Aperture? Nah. Lightroom every time. |

You obviously shoot in RAW. Its amazing how much freedom you get with RAW when it comes to processing.
|
|
By:
RAW the only way to go. i must post my eagle pic sometime
