2:50 in, I want the big cat to get the man with the gun and rip his macho face off!!!
And maim the other man and kill the dog.

It's put me in a very grumpy mood watching that.
Got to admit, I skipped that one. It would have put me in a seriously bad mood too!

Another rule I use where possible...stand behind a tree.

Not just that guy. If you watch the whole clip, there really are some daft people in the world. Makes you wonder how the race survived this long.

The first clip in this "movie" got me as I have, on occasion, begged to get access to the media only areas.

I have no personal experience of horse racing - but have done the odd Grand Prix or two and many of the principles will be the same (although F1 cars rarely jump over fences)
Unless it is being driven by Robert Kubica

I'd have thought catching a horse going over a jump is similar to catching a rally car going over a jump. If so ,the single direction of motion should make it easier than following a horse on the straight (IMHO)

THat's great!
I have an old lens which doesn't fit either of my cameras, so I might just strip that for practice, so I know what to expect if I ever need to do one for real!

Not what I thought either, but I do like it.

Just don't take your brightly coloured KX or KR, it may look a little out of place.
That depends. A friend of mine wore a bright pink dress at her grandmother's funeral. It was one of the grandmother's last requests that every one should where something bright, especially Sarah who normally only wears black.

Mrs Ted had a friend form Hungary who said it is regular practice to take snapshots at funerals.

And I'm pretty sure bonfire night is in November. I don't think we're planning that far ahead at the moment!

Sorry, it's been a hard morning. Think I'm getting snappy (and not in the good, photographic way).
Doh!
I was just reading another thread about the autumn Goth weekend, hadn't spotted that this one referred to April


And feel free to snap away sir!

Lovely set, for me number 3 is the best.
If I was to nitpick, what lets the other two down ( to my mind ) is the out of focus leaf tips on the prominent leaf in number one. And the out of focus foreground leaf in number two.

Number 3, though: sublime!

Why did they have to change the dates????
Half term will be over by then, so I won't be able to make a weekend of it and as it is bonfire night, I won't be able to make a day trip either
