The Horse in Motion, desert version

This picture taken this morning at the Medinat Zayed camel race reminded the horse in motion shots. The purpose of the shoot was to determine whether a galloping horse ever lifts all four feet completely off the ground during the gait.

Thanks for the link Stefano, wonderful to see that the principale explained on the website also works for camels. Great action shot!

Looks like a camel vs car race

Looks like 4 feet off to me

@huvesaker don't believe the colors, actually chilly in the morning out there (I like the gulf winter as much as I hate the summer).
@jgpittenger yes, that's what the original purpose of the horse in motion: to prove that all 4 feet are off.
