Finishing line in sight - a photo on Flickriver

            A week ago I attended what they call a point-to-point race meeting. It is a low key, all amateur event that was held only 20 minutes from where I live. We found a place to set up that was very close to the final fence of the race course. I set my shutter speed to 1/1000 sec and fired away as the horses came over the fence. It was amazing just how quickly they were over the jump and gone again, literally a blink of an eye and they were gone. The other thing that was noticeable was the noise of the horses as they came through, the pounding of the hooves was quite wonderful to take in. Something very different for me but an experience that I thoroughly enjoyed.
