Good set Barrie. I wish I could have been there on Saturday.
The motor bike shot is breathtaking.

Thanks guys. It's the first show, of this sort, that I had been to and I will definitely go again. I did hear of one gentleman who did not want his picture taken but in the main people seemed friendly and happy for you to point the camera at them. The other thing that surprised me was the wide range of activity going on, presenting a load of photo opportunities. David you did miss a good lunch.

I agree with David. The motor cycle shot is fabulous. The guy in #1 must have been busy. One of my flickr contacts has a picture of him holding a cup with a liver chestnut welsh pony in tow

Barrie, I think the motorbike shot is much more powerful without the trees and so on.

I did wonder about it Ken. I was thinking the background gave some scale to it?

Great set, but I think that (No1) sets mood perfectly for an agricultural show, well caught.

Take care.

Yes, no mishaps on the day. They were worried about being able to get enough traction during the run up. After rain the grass was a bit slippery.

The first and the fourth (kudos to him for showing something that 99% of the world probably wouldn't dare do)!
