Caithness County Show 2008

[Deemac]

Hi chaps,
Been up to the eyeballs of late so not done much photography this summer. Anyway almost didn't go the the show as I thought the weather looked too dodgy. Glad I did though (arrived 3pm and missed lots). Decided to take a long lense strategy mainly (sigma 135-400mm) allowing me to capture all the action in a much more natural, unobtrusive state. First time taking shots of horse jumping etc.

Some nice shots there! Particularly liking the last two...

Some great shots there, I particularly like two, four and five. The black and white show jumping image is excellent.

Liked those Deemac - is funny everyone is saying how bad the weather was but from all the pics posted you can't tell that! Liked the b/w showjumping pic but could not fit it all in my screen sadly.

Lovely, colourful photos, Deemac, and I also like the B&W one! :cool:

Thanks for all the kind words folks. I was in a mind that day to capture the show from a slightly different photographic perspective. I'll try more of this sort of approach in future.
