Over the last. by seanoneill

Over the last.

Bobsworth, the winner of the Hennessey Gold Cup just survives his jump at the last fence.

Also covers the word green, from the December list.

Superb action photo with a 50mm lens, cool!

@sonnypichay Thanks Sonny. We were lucky to be allowed up close to the fence. I wish I could have captured the sounds too!

Great shot and interesting angle on the word green.

Hmm almost as obtuse as mine!! Fab shot, must have been hard going

Great action shot sean

Fabulous Sean, I'd love to take a shot like this. I will get around to going to the races one day!

@bluefirebucket Thanks Mick, you've got Haydock on your doorstep. it is one of the 19 out of 60 courses I have yet to go to, so maybe we will make it there together.
December 2nd, 2012  
Yeah maybe we will Sean, I'm surprised you are able to get so close, I always imagined you'd need a huge lens, which I don't have.

@bluefirebucket It really depends where you go Mick, and as I don't know Haydock I'm not sure how friendly a course it is. Most courses though are friendly places with very helpful stewards. If you think that yesterday was Newbury's biggest jumps day of the year, it was brilliant to get within about 20ft of the fence! You just need to remember to turn your flash off! From you I would say the best place to go is Cartmel, it is one of my favourite courses and you can get very up close and personal. Unfortunately the next meeting there is in May 2013!

Great action shot here Sean at just precisely the right moment! Must have been a bit nippy at the races yesterday!

Oh, my, Sean. . .you do the most fun and adventuresome things!! What a great action shot! Hooray!
December 2nd, 2012  
Great shot Sean - afraid I can't say the same about the sport though! Oops! You are quite keen on it aren't you?
December 2nd, 2012  
@yrhenwr I am David, but that doesn't mean that others can't be either against it or ambivalent towards it. I understand and respect all 3 points of view and choose to love the sport myself. No oops necessary.

Fabulous capture

We don't often get horse racing photos Sean & this is a cracker!!! Perfect position & a great action shot made even better by having the title of the race in the picture!

Superb action shot. Full of colour and life.
