David, I'm still processing mine but WOW, that first shot is great! That 600mm sure is nice...of course the nut behind the lens is pretty good too.

[Keyser Soze]

[CaptainTom]

Nice shots so far.
I'll lower the standard.
I certainly felt some "lens envy" with all that glass around today.... WOW !!

[JoeBannon]

Here is one of mine....

[engstrom]

It was a blast hanging out with everyone - David, Norm, Tom, Ronnie, Erica, Marty, Joe, John, and Roy. Roy, we missed you down in the cheap seats...maybe next time I'll put on deodorant and they'll let me in the owner's area. I think I'm forgetting someone - please jump in and correct me.

As to pictures, well, I've had worse days and I've had better days. Here are a few that I processed on the first pass.

#1 - Horses have the exact same placement of their legs





#2 - More close racing





#3 - Panning at 1/50 second 220mm (effective 275mm), probably my favorite shot





#4 - Leading an excited horse to the gates





#5 - Panning at 1/125 second 235mm (effective 294mm)





#6 - Norm holding the monster 600mm with Cap'n Tom in the background (and through the viewfinder in the lens)





#7 - Coming onto the home strech in the last race

[Abel]

[MRCPix]

Tom, you certainly aren't lowering the standard. That third shot of the jockey is absolutely spectacular!

[Roy]

Wow everybody got some great shots! I'm impressed!

I haven't even had a chance to upload mine and look at them. I had to come home and go to work on honey do's. We weren't suppose to be in the owners area? I think I got lost and just kinda wound up there. Turns out I know one of the owners and he wants to purchase some photos of his horse and his wife with his horse. I didn't even know he was there. He found me pointing my little 200 mm at some horses and jockies.

Wondered where everybody was but I think I saw that 600 bazooka from a distance. It still looked huge.

Very nice work guys. Hope I got a few decent ones.
