Fox Hunt - Horses and Hounds

troutstreaming

I had the opportunity to be the second shooter at a Fox Hunt yesterday - please note the 'fox' is a scent soaked towel. Lighting was bright and sunny, so lots of shadows and as the protocol is to not cross the foxes trail the light was what it was, so lots of backlit images and strong shadows.

Before the run, everyone was looking their best:





Release the hounds! [Heavy shadow rescue here, probably too much - original image in gallery below]


Over the hill


And through the woods

Following the hounds




Until all are tired







and thirsty.

You got some nice shots! I missed cubbing this year, I'll have to see if I can get a guest pass again this year. A friend of mine is a whipper-in and we always have a good time. But, with my big guy I perfer to ride second flight.

This one is a great shot!

What a neat opportunity! My favorite is the second one, with the white horse. I love the composition and the sharpness.

happy day,
