Horse Power of A Different Kind

[BBJ]

Hi All, well one of the Builders i cart concrete to put on a couple of busses to the Dunkeld Races in Victoria for the day yesterday, puts on a good show. Anyhow was hard to get anywhere near the track as so many people there so took some of the loverly ladies in fashion etc...


The Veiw from the track

In full swing




All in all was a good day got a bit damp but still great. I did manage to get some other pics that would amaze you but i might get in trouble if i posted, but i will tell you what we seen. While leaving and all on the Buss ready to pull out we looked over to some trees which was between the track and the road way where all the traffic was exiting by,and behold me there was a girl who was well let us say desperate even though there was toilets behid the tree's where she was, instead chose to drop the nickers and just did her bussines in full veiw of all the busses cars etc.. leaving.
Oh yes i did get pics.LOL
When you gotta go you gotta.
Cheers

Strueth!!!!

Pics of ladies beat pics of horses anyday John! But that's a very nice pic of the horse in action too - I guess you applied the same technique as shooting motorsport but slow down the panning to 1/10th the speed for the horse galloping by.

[BBJ]

Hi Steve, something new for me again and well doesn't hurt to have a change now and then. All shots taken with D70+ Sigma 70-200+ flash for fill.
Tell you truth i didn't even see this much talent at the GP The fun wasn't on the feild, i enjoyed it.

[BBJ]

Yes Chi, almost same setting only used the flash as it was very Dull at times, hell i even got wet at one stage but yeh i tried to stop the animal as much as i could.

Terrifically exposed shots John. Fill flash perfect. Horse shot great. Some of those girls must have sent you deaf judging the size of their voices!
cheers

Marco, mate these have got nothing on some that i seen. I have never seen such bigger girls with so little on anyhow made it a interesting day none the less. Just as well Lisa wasn't with me as i know i would have got a thick ear. HAHA who needs Bondi beach!! just go to a horse race.]

[wendellt]

Beautiful John, reminds me of derby day
When did you become social photographer. Would you do this fulltime? i think it's worth it.

[BBJ]

Wendell, This was different and well i guess it would be ok if you go to some of these events, but i think it would be ok and wlel as close as i was going to get to try some nice pics of girls in the fashion section, although trying to get close enough was a hassle and had to shoot what i could.

Hey i will shoot and try anything and well why not if i was to attend events like this why not take pics, but my first time doing this type shooting and well was for myself so didn't matter. But happy with the pics.

[mudder]

Some great shots there mate, and I think you got the ratio between horses and talent spot-on

Looks like you would have had a great day...

[wendellt]

so John your saying you didn't have a press pass and most of those pics are candids from a safe distance, could of fooled me thought you were one of the social photographers covering the event. It reminds me of derby day because it was overcast that day in melbourne and there were lots of pretty girls with matching frocks, i left early to go back to sydney but next year definitely staying around for the whole day. More pics please!

[BBJ]

No mate, no pass, i was there on a P##s trip put on by 1 of the local builders here and they wanted some pics so took the gear with me.
No pp work cos i am too slack so just raw pics to jpgs and here is a few more for you Wendall and yes i had ro stand back in the croud at the fashion on the feilds comp and take what i could.

Bit hard with this shot with 70-200 and too many people for them to step back so took 2 shots.




There you go Wendell few more for you.
This i would be ok at this stuff?? LOL It's Fun, everyone wants you to take pictures of them.

Very nice Fillys and the horses aren't bad either
Thanks for sharing.

[marcotrov]

Lovely John. What tone curve preset/s are you using on the D70? Flesh tones are really sweet.
cheers

Hi BBJ
Bloody good camera work there! When you can make the girls look as good as the horses then you are doing something right! Er...hang on there a minute...should that be the other way round?

[BBJ]

Thanks Matt, and Marco i dont use any in camera curves or anything, and only settings i use it Auto White Balance -2. Thats it, but was a good day, might have to attend more events like this, took some pics handed my card out so see what happens to a few people.

BBJ,
Watch out! Lisa may kick you out to the dog house if you're continuing to violate the rules by taking lof of pictures of the girls instead of her
Very nice pics and I love the skin tone.

[BBJ]

Birdy i can tell you mate i am already in the dog house before i went, as i didn't know about this event till friday morning at work. Seem my boss didn't tell us blokes for a week or so and i went home and said i am going away tomorrow for the day. Hey i did not have bikes on so why not, anyhow i am still in dog house but she will get over it.

[Slider]

Very nice. Looks like you had a terrible day

[wendellt]

John I thought sydney was the city of vanity, but in melbourne if that's the crowd, is full of vanity too. Social pix is fun!

[BBJ]

Wendell, hey just point the camera and most people want there picture taken, 1 of the young single blokes that came over with us was trying to chat up the girls as they walked by but in the end he just said would you have your picture taken with him and well he did get a few.
Was a laugh.

[jethro]

Thats good stuff. Fillies in the field. The colour saturation is very credible. Sharpness, superb. Well done John. At least you don't just shoot motor racing
These shots motor!

Jethro

[Potatis]

Very nice shots John. Amazing how well you've done since these photos are so different from what I normally see you photograph. It's great that so many people were so willing to pose for you. I think you've done a brilliant job.

[BBJ]

Thanks Jethro and Doug, i guess i need to find something else to indulge my obsession as New Years Eve will be my last track day for awhile with MotoX finishing next weekend so will have to check some othetr sports out maybe go back out to baseball, i will find something beleive me.
