One of our other assignments includes sports photography. My origional Idea was to visit a local skate park and attemt to get some photos. I had already taken a few shots during the summer at Hyde park skate park in Leeds.



















I practiced with the different shutter speeds and appertures to try to get a good image.











































On Sunday I had the chance to attend a horse show with my Mum. I decided to use this as an oppertunitiy to take shots of the horses and riders during the show jumping and whilst they were getting ready and un-tacking.



I liked this image as it shows Jettison having his mane plaited, which he hates, and you can see the look of boredom and annoyance in his face.














These two images show a close up of Jetti after he had been "Tacked Up" and now wearing his bit and bridle and a second wearing his saddle. I like the unusual angle of this second photograph.

















This Image shows jettison and his rider Holly, both looking smart and ready for the show. I liked the way they are both looking in the same direction, suggesting that they are both looking towards the action, waiting expectantly for thier turn.





I also attenpted to capture some images of the horses during the showjumping but I found it very difficult to avoid motion blur as the lighting was quite dark and I was trying to avoid using any form of flash so as not to spook the horses.
