A DAY AT THE RACES WITH THE 20D !

.....and the Totally Digital Infrared D60.

Today was the Atlanta Steeplechase and a few thousand folks braved the
threatening weather to dress up, drink beer and watch the ponies run.

It was a tough day for jockeys as almost every one I bet on fell off
his horse.
Here's the first race:

Here's the 4th race and my digital double-exposure shot:

And of course, the ladies were out as well.
Once they see me and my 20D they're all smiles.
I think this is perhaps my favorite shot from the "Honey Cam":

The girl on the right in this pic kept telling me that she loved me:

Like, who doesn't, *****?

Umm, probably a few that play basketball for Rutgers, unless you
flash them a dynasty sign.

The momma on the left is more attractive, has a more winning
smile, has the better hat, and probably won't end up later in life
with the dark, wrinkled skin and tumors that darling daughter is
risking.

And I see she is into cable ties, gotta love that.

Sorry Brett your original 1st post does not show on my server.
This is a masterpiece, and let me show you another one, somewhat related, by
Cezar Serbanescu:

(it is worth working to reformat the link, if broken)
This one is done with the Canon 50 mm 1.8 (IInd version...)

I would like catching such microseconds of truth...

Don't they check the health of a horse by looking at teeth?

Mine too, but I think you should have cropped a bit tighter...like this:

Very bad, harsh, and jagged bokeh. We need creamy bokeh.

Were the spectators drinking, or the jockeys?

This wasn't a claiming race, was it?
