I love taking shots like this. There is practically no advance time to focus, frame and shoot. Not to mention if the horse clips the rail the wrong way I’m not going to have time to protect my camera! 😉

I want this! Scheming on how I can get my son safely in position like this… 😉 I almost rode him over in canter a couple of weeks ago last time he came out, hmmm, maybe not…

Think he might be a bit gun shy at this point! 🙂

Actually if you want to do it, set the jump up along the fence facing into the sun. Then he can be just outside the fence shooting. Safe for everyone. 🙂

That’s a better idea. He’d definitely have to be outside the fence! 🙂

LOL I get paid to risk life and limb, plus I’ve been around horses for over 50 years. Your son will have a happier time knowing you won’t run him over and can get more creative with his camera angles. 🙂

Reminds me, I haven’t paid this poor little guy ANYTHING. Oh boy. Well. I suppose the awesome Mexican Enchiladas we sometimes go out for afterward might fill in a bit of the gap…
