Guineas & Lockinge amongst others...

Some photos from April & May with my newish Nikon D60...

Is the last course featured Pontefract? (looks Like Advanced in the second last piccy)

I only ask because I don't recognise it and it is a long time since I've been there.

 

[Gamla Stan]

Certainly is, the last 2 are at Ponty and bonus points for Advanced beating Thebes. I was going to add more and add captions but have to dash to work.

Great photos GS, especially the lockinge finish.

How is the camera working out for you?

 

[Gamla Stan]

It's bloody brilliant, best £270 I've spent and I got a right bargain looking how much it is now on Amazon. Considering splashing out on a better lens this week with my Look Busy winnings.

I went to see Girls Aloud last week and the lens just wasn't zoomy enough...

Good stuff GS...Newbury ones are super.

Virtual took quite a liking to my camera, had a good old nosey on two laps of the parade ring as you can see!

I'll post more later as Flickr is blocked at work.

 

[Gamla Stan]

Can see the rest here...

one thing is sure you must have stood right next to us - jimmy basicly took the same photo with his newish D 90

Great pictures GS, the horse's in the close ups look like they are staring straight at you maybe you was destined for photography?

 

[And]

I clicked on your Flickr link GS, I loved the pics, but particularly the three sepia or b/w architectural ones, ironically. I've seen far worse win prizes.

I liked the feeble attempts at trying to corral the loose horse, GS - give them a red cape - they look like they're trying their hand at bullfighting! Thanks for sharing all of those with us.

 

[Gamla Stan]

I still maintain, after all the satire and comedy I've watched, there isn't many funnier things than watching a bunch of clueless people try to catch a loose horse. Waving our arms should help a bit!

The building was Wakefield Kirkgate station on the way back from Pontefract, a first rate shithole.

Someone once "said never catch a loose horse or you could be stuck with it all day".

This season I caught Afsoun and Gwanako with my intuitive horsemanship Monty Roberts technique of grabbing the reins.

Great pics, Stan.
