Hull Show 2012

The Hull Show used to be a 2 day country type show many years ago with countless trade and side shows, farm animal classes, domestic pet competitions and show jumping with ALL the big names of the time. It was resurrected a few years ago and is now a basically a show jumping show, with a few expensive burger bars and an expensive beer 'trailer' taking the place of the good old 'beer tent', but still an enjoyable few hours in glorious sun

A grand set of "action" shots Dave, well timed and captured , this one has the edge with the horses legs tucked right up.

Yes a brilliant shot....... The lighting is perfect with the flank of the horse and rider clearly visible.

Yep, it was the only angle available. Believe it or not Patrick there too much light and so bright that it played havoc with getting decent shots.....too much contrast. But we gave it a go

Good sharp shot. I know how difficult it is to get a good result in lighting like this where the contrast is too much for the sensor.
