BBC (Bowler hats, Banking and Clydesdale's)

Been working at the Royal Highland show for the last few days. Went in on Friday afternoon with the intention of getting a shot for the comp. Shot this from the main arena.

There was 4 clydesdales driving a cart thing. Although I got some shots of them I couldn't get satisfactory background blur to make the horse and cart stand out from the background. I thought out of all my shots this was deffinately a very British scene.



Canon 400d + 70-300 IS | 210mm | 1/1000s | F5 | ISO 200

Converted from RAW then resize & border.

Forgot to say I've no idea what the guy was making the face at. Glad I had pre-focused when he did though!!

Great shot Ally, colour, sharpness, and a nice bit of pop to the picture.

Good work

Re: BBC (Bowler hats, Banking and Clydesdale's)

again right on theme, very very sharp image love the crispness in the ribbons on the horses mane, you certainly get the best out of your kit (was going to say equipment but that sounds a bit ooo-eeerrr)

Very nice, great expresssions on both man and horses, and lovely detail on the horse's nose
What is it they say about animals looking like their owners?

Cheers,

Tim.
