It's action and it's at a sporting event. A streaker being removed.

I'm trying to get a little more active in this forum, so I thought I'd give this sports thread a post, since I love sports and photographing sports is my main hobby.

This is a photo I took in 2008 at Saratoga race Track. The horse in the foreground, Ginger Punch, went on to win this race, the $400,000 Personal Ensign Handicap. Behind her is a horse named Lemon Drop Mom. Click for larger image.



The photo was taken around 5pm in August 2008. I took it using my handheld Canon SD850IS. I personally think it is one of my best photographs I have taken with a hand held point and shoot. Light was fading, and I only had 1 shot to get them as they came by. Hope thread readers enjoy it.

I JUST purchased my first DSLR, a Canon 40D, so hopefully better things are to come.

I like the way you brought attaention onto the horse with your focus.

This is a concept I've been thinking about for a while. The actual images are ordinary but I think the concept works. Now for the Dxxx with 20 fps.

Lawnbowling practice.

I didn't know that they played Lawn Bowls in the USA.

Not sure how popular it is nationwide, but this Laguna Beach club was started in 1931.

Here and in New Zealand it's actually the largest sport based on the numbers who regularly participate. There are even Pro Lawn Bowlers now.
