Lean, Mean Racing Machines

2007.09.09
Calling all race fans!

My first time taking photos of a horse race.

It's over so fast, there's not much chance for practice.

Really hard to frame them and focus and remember to push the button.

This speedy guy was the winner of this race.

Long day today! I spent the day at the Los Angeles County Fair. The weather was perfect and I took over 400 photos! 300 of them were of horses. I couldn't help it, I started off at the barrel races and then stopped by the horse races. I may have to go back to take more photos. There's so much to see.

Two more of my friends are racing at IMMOO - Ironman Wisconsin. Tim is racing his first! And Bolder is racing his second. Both of them are lean, mean, racing machines! Woo! Please think safe, speedy vibes for them. :)

OC110481 :) Really great!! I love your horses racing shots

chipotle my guess is that the LA county fair is a much more spectacular event than the mississippi state fair. that's a pretty amazing idea. i really like the bugler; as grand as he is, though, your shots of of the gallops stopped mid-air are amazing.

LisetteT les 3 et 4 sont spectaculaires.
Nice set.
