Chorley Equestrian Fun Ride.

Today I have been mostly, sat in a field taking pictures of Horses and riders at the annual Chorley fun ride which takes place near Cholmondeley in Cheshire.

It’s the first time I’ve ever been to an equestrian event, never mind taking pictures at one, so I’m quite pleased with the pictures.

I elected not to use the camera flash so as not to spook any horses, which made shooting into the direction of the sun and bright sky somewhat challenging.  Anyway, apart from the lack of sun most of the day, there are still some great shots.

Below a couple of sample, the rest can be found in the gallery here (click).

Please beware if you order a print to be posted to you, then the current postal strike may induce a significant delay in its arrival. Needless to say if you order a digital file, this wil not be the case.

Oh and I enjoyed myself today, friendly people those horsey folk, so if you need a  photographer to cover your event, give me a shout.

Notts and Derby Cyclo-Cross Pictures.

After my previous weeks racing at the 3 peaks cyclo-cross, I returned to the other side of the camera, to take some photos of this event.

A day of much wind, but thankfully hardly any rain. A good turn out in all categories.

Just short of 200 pictures to view or buy of racers in all categories click here
