Went to Tampa Bay Downs for Florida Derby Day last sat, and captured these images. After that we made some $2 bets. Won 5 times, but still lost $20. Still a fun day. All shot w/D70/28-200G. Post Time {} Down the stretch {} Post race strategy discussion {} Lady Jockey {} Jockey {} Tired Pony {}
Great horsey pics..........to think my inlaws do this for a living and have never taken pics, you spurred me on! LOL......... looks like nice clean fun ;-)
Excellent shots Steve. Congratulations for capturing the essence of horse racing. Vivid colors, action, excellent focus, what more can I say.
Colorful Reminds me of when I was a little girl and I used to go the horses with my father, uncle and grandfather. It was sully racing though. Great color and interest. Thanks, Virginia aka beaucamera
Thanks everyone, My kids were arguing about whether the 2nd shot, the "down the stretch" shot was at the end of the race or the beginning. Who knows, I took so many! One thing I learned about playing the ponies, is that I don't know a damn thing about playing the ponies!
Terrific shots Steve - my fav would be #2. Used to go to the geegees a lot when younger and worked with racehorses for a while - they're all mad (horses and people) You've given me the inspiration to go and try shooting them one day. Neil
