Lovely set, I was discussing taking horse shots at last nights camera club meeting, so this is rather apt.

Great set, number 3 would have been superb if it wasn't for those people. (Don't you just hate spectators)
It was very busy on Sunday and generally 4 deep at each jump. I know 2 & 3 would have been better without the spectators but like the way it make you feel like part of the crowd.Great set, number 3 would have been superb if it wasn't for those people. (Don't you just hate spectators)

K-7 did very well ... wonder how much better the K-5 would have been with it much improved AF, higher dynamic range and high ISO.
I'm still getting to grips with the capabilities of the K-7 so can't quite justify the next step to K-5. Although these were taken in ideal conditions the higher ISO performance of the K-5 is very tempting.

An impressive set. I'm planning on going next year (or at least my other half is planning to take me). Rather like No4.

The horse in No. 4 is owned by Alain Prost and was definitely going at full throttle when I took the photo!

Very good set. I like the almost forgotten shot followed by Prost's nag.
