All were shot with a K20D and the DA* 50-135mm apart from "Out of the trp" which was shot with the FA 43mm Ltd. Most shot using a Manfrotto tripod.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Hope the shooter hit the clay as well as you did?
C&C welcome.

A good set Kris.

My take on them in order;

Monochromic birthlight
death,joyous
religion
death, sombre
Fading light, life chapter ending....

Initially I looked at the individual shots. Then a sequence emerged.

A nice set, although I really like the first, with the shafts of light breaking down from the clouds and the patches of light reflection on the surface of the water. Great stuff

You did manage to get the clay perfectly.

How close to the trap were you? I would suggest you are in the "danger zone" from a clay that does not launch correctly - and they hurt even at 40m away!

Also looking at the shooter - she appears not to be wearing any safety equipment and similarly the person behind plus her stance is not exactly the safest either.

I like the top image but would crop it centrally to portrait

Looks like she's wearing ear defenders, but no goggles. Not that they are any use anyway.

For those who don't know, you lean into the gun, forward, not backwards, and most clay shots don't raise their gun to the shoulder before the clay is released. She should also be standing in a restrictive cage to prevent her from killing the guy manning the trap, who is in front of her.

Excellent images though.

Number 1 is n terrific image.

You yourself commented more on the health and safety content than you did the photography.

I can see the ear defenders now ... I was using a rather small screen initially.

I really like the first image. The sun through the clouds is great. Personally I think that you can never be too safe and I think that is excellent that even on a site like this we are kept up to date with health and safety legislation. I am just off to make a cup of tea, having filled out the correct coshh form and made sure that my kettle's electrical certificate is up to date.
