The quality is really something imho for me The Street Scene is first class colours and really nice and sharp.
The Sea and the boats are brilliant really are ,good job this isnt a judgement call although the two guys would steal it for me all day the Boats the Goose and the B&W but what a good standard of work....back to the drawing board foe me .

As Womble says it looks very cold there .....good work thanks for sharing them...

Hi Carl good of you to reply and thanks for all the tips I have been in touch with Plumpton they really surprised me as they seem to have a phot gallery for folks who take photos which is good I did ask if photography was allowed and with the correct ticket which I think is really cheap £15 it will get me on the winning line and also the paddock so will be able to get shots of the jocks etc
I realise the or rather I intend to shoot in front of the subjects in anticipation of what "might " happen but also frame as best I can so the subjects are not running into the edge of the border of the shot.
I have read that the winning line etc is not the best place to be so I intend to go somewhere close to a fence which is not got that many people there so should be good also the usual portraits if possibble I prefer losing expressions rather than winning,sounds odd but hey ho

Thanks for the input its really appreciated and coming onto a forum is a new thing for me many thanks again

I just hope this is in the correct area of the forum if not I apologise.
I intend to take myself and my camera off to Plumpton racing this month,weather permitting I was wondering has anyone got any tips (photographic) and any experience of this type of photography which might just help me get some decent shots of the runners as they jump the fences.
can manage panning a motorbike in action so hope the horses will not be much more difficult ..I dont gamble but am drawn to this sport to photograph rather than motorsports




With thanks

Hi all just been offered the 17-35mm I fancy it but thought I might do some homework anyone here have one of these or know if it is likely to be worth the £130 being asked ?this included a 77mm Hoya filter and hood plus carryng bag.It is in really nice condition not used much at all

Thanks in anticipation.
