Dublin Horse Show ’07

I spent 2 days at the RDS this summer, Friday for the Aga Khan, and Saturday for the Puissance.
I’ve still to go through a lot of the pictures and sort them, but I put a batch from the Aga Khan, and the pony final from friday evening up on my flickr account. These are wholly unedited apart from the reduced size.

Any comments greatly appreciated.
I like the 1st pic, very sharp and you can get a good feeling from that image
Tell me this… Who won the Aga Khan?, and how did Ireland get on?
Good pics…..

Germany won, ireland were tied for 3rd, the USA all-female team were 2nd.
Unfortunately the weather on both days wasn’t great… it got pretty cloudy and dull during the main events.
I need to go through my pictures from the saturday, particularly the Puissance. Hopefully I’ve got a nice picture of Cian’s horse Casper who was milking the crowd for all he was worth.
The first one looks good. Sharp and so on.
The horse must have a sense of humour to go out in that silly hat.The second one looks unsharp or shaken or something. The horse is a
bit dominated by the surroundings too.First is sharp as Pete says. Seems a bit under exposed/dark on my screen here though.
Yep first picture is a bit dark alright … Just looking at the EXIF data it was at 300mm, so it would have been f5.6 on the lens I was using. Also looks like it was ISO250. I had the camera in sports mode as well. I prefer not to play around with the auto settings very much.
About the only time I’ll change is when it simply gets too dark, or the sensor decides its so dark it needs a flash.I think I’m going to have to at least set the ISO to 400 at all times. I have tried using ISO800 once at a rugby match under floodlights … I wasn’t at all happy with the results. One of the teams was in white which didn’t help matters.
Generally speaking I have found that in the sports auto-mode very often the camera does select ISO400, so I am somewhat suprised to see that photo was at ISO250.
