There are definate focus problems in this shot and I debated whether to post it or not. One day I will have the gear..... Christmas is coming, time to write a note to Santa. Anyway, by the sea on a fine spring day in Northern Ireland. A one day event where riders have to do cross country, dressage and show jumping all on one day. I liked the polka dots on the rider as well as the polka dot effect on this lovely dappled grey horse. Those of us who work with horses have favourites, colour wise. I really like Greys. No reason for it, it just is. In ireland there is a real stigma against sorrel mares as it is thought they are 'hot' or hard to manage. I never found that to be the case.

And what a magnificent animal. I like the dots too. Look forward to more! Jan Holland Registered: July 2009 Posts: 1,866 Fri October 23, 2009 10:50am Hello Joni. Perfect captured action shot.! I do like to photgraph this moments too. Ones a year we having here those concourses too. Not easy to make good shots, I know. Cheers from Jan Wanda Registered: November 2008 Posts: 1,954 Fri October 23, 2009 2:18pm The poke a dots are the thing that makes this, even taking away from the great timing of the shot. I do think you need to get at that Santa letter as you are ready for a camera that can handle the action when you can time it this well. Regards Wanda lrw1966 Registered: November 2008 Posts: 3,889 Fri October 23, 2009 3:15pm Joni, Hi: The Dapple Grey horse with the rider dressed in poke a dots is well seen and presented. Marvelous action work with your point and shoot. Very nicely done with your system. Have a great weekend, my friend. Thanks Larry Sat October 24, 2009 10:59am Considering you used a point and shoot this is a great shot, I think the main focus problem is the shutter speed being a little slow. You have a good composition here and the colours are good, lets hope the letter to Santa works LOL. Well done Regards Andy mortcdz Registered: January 2009 Posts: 1,837 Sun October 25, 2009 9:34pm Even with a point-and-shoot this is a good capture - the slightly oof effect helps accentuate the feeling of movement. Yes a more expensive camera could have produced a sharper end product, but its the photographer who takes the picture, not the camera...... Cheers....Mark didgeplayer Registered: December 2009 Posts: 45 Wed December 30, 2009 7:53am An excellent action shot especially given the limitations of the point and shoot. Was Santa kind for Xmas and did he leave you with an SLR? All the best for 2010. Bob
