Redcar Races

Whenever we go away in the UK I try to get a day at the races.

There are 60 courses in the UK, and this was my 39th course. Number 40 follows in a week or so.

A very nice friendly course, with great viewing and photo opps, I particularly liked this driving finish, not least because we won quite a bit of money on it!!
What a great, colorful shot. It looks like you are standing right in front of them about to be trampled. Look OUT!!

@amandalomonaco Thanks Amanda, luckily the course bends just where I was stood, so I was safely on the other side of the fence!

Sean, I will definately try to go. At one time it was only a race track. Now theres a casino too and they are doing an Easter egg hunt for the kids the same day. If I feel brave, I may venture out! Id love to take pics like this! @seanoneill

@seanoneill By the way, this is def a favorite of mine! I love all the dirt kicking up and the rich colors, Fantastic shot!

@sheg Thank you thank you. The trick is a shutter speed of about 1/500 to stop the action. If you can get this at about f/10 that is good. A nice long lens helps too! I really look forward to your shots. Hope that's not too much pressure, most of all, have lots of fun!

LOL, no pressure! thanks for the advice on the shutter speed! My longest is a 300 i think.
