Great Royaldevon 2012-04-10 3:47

Hello John,

Well, this has worked well!
Your panning has produced a shot which creates a fine sense of vitality and movement - good on a still shot!The legs are certainly in an extended trot and those wheels are whizzing round!


It surprises me that you use a slow shutter speed, you would think a fast shutter spped would be even more accurate!

I once went with my husband's brother, panning swallows over a canal and trying to get them reflected in the water. I won't tell you how successful I was!

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Default To Royaldevon: Trotting.....

Hello Bev,

Thank you for your kind remarks about this one.

This trotting lark involves a great deal of skill (and also, I think, danger!) on the part of the drivers. The idea is that you must only trot - if you try to go too fast and the horse breaks into a gallop, you are immediately removed from that race. That, I think, is one of the real skills required. Interesting to watch for a while and certainly very interesting to try to photograph but not something you'd want to watch every day of the week!

Kind Regards,

John.
