One of the biggest problems when I’m photographing horse racing is the bunching of the pack.  It’s very difficult to get a good group arrangement of horses while they’re mid-race – I find the frames get too crowded and there is often no main subject of the image.

The thing that I’ve found is that it’s best to follow just one horse as they’re racing, rather than trying to get a good shot of the whole pack.  That way your attention is focussed following one point rather than trying to scan the whole race for an exciting image.

What do you think of the results?

The following day the exhibition was open to the public, but I couldn’t be there because I had flown up to Auckland to meet Steve and the bus at Hampton Downs race meeting.

My wife went along, and was quite happy with the number of people we had through the door. Considering that the advert only ran once in the local paper, and the showhome is in a cul-de-sac rather than on a main road, I was pleased with the turnout we had.

The feedback I had was very positive, and the experience was definitely worthwhile.

Although a wide variety of people looked at the photographs, they seemed to like the same images.  The ones most frequently commented on were the monochrome/colour reflection of Jerusalem,

the mud buggy,

the sheep,

 

and the panoramic still shot of the Watt Fountain in Wanganui.

I entered this image into the Carey Smith Art Review 2011, was delighted that it was accepted for exhibition in the Sarjeant Gallery next month. The exhibition opens on July 1st, and runs for about 6 weeks. Drop in and have a look if you’re in the Wanganui area!

I love to work with HDR in nature. Helping to promote it’s natural beauty.  The results you can achieve are amazing and hypnotic.

Just a small drip in the rain whilst walking on Mt Taranaki. Simple, elegant.

This is one of my favourite images.

One that I can sit at stare at for hours. I find it an escape and relaxation in one.

Interesting how an image can generate such feelings.
