Wetherby Races

Creative racing photography is largely down to luck. Pick the angle, lying in the sodden ground, camera less than an inch from the fence (and potentially the galloping horses), waiting for the cavalry. They travel at 40 mph and, presuming they are about 6 feet from the lens, they will pass through the viewfinder in about a quarter of a second! It is a case of 'rapid fire' and hope for the best. And you only get one chance every 30 minutes.
