A kangaroo on the endurance course

Here are four more photos from the endurance ride we attended on the weekend. There was a beautiful pink sunrise on the Saturday morning. We drove out to find a good spot from which to take photos and, while we were waiting, a kangaroo crossed the road and got a great fright at seeing Vince. You catch people and horses in some funny positions when you’re taking photos. The young lass lower left is well off the ground. Lower right shows two young horses on their first endurance rider. They were quite nervous and are spooking at the car off to the side of the road. The girl is a veterinarian and the guy is a builder. The top two photos are Vince’s. The lower ones are mine.

They are beautiful pictures! The Kangaroo on the track is looking too beautiful! Regarding other pictures of the horses , I can understand as a Vet that we have some teething problems some times which may upset the horses!

There were two kangaroos but the other one went the other way.

Animals aren't always that smart. Or, maybe they are. Humans build around their homes.

Great action photos. The kangaroo just probably wanted to see who got farther him or the horses,

@JudyEv I noticed that picture with the pink sunrise. That is very beautiful. Why do you think the kangaroo got a fright in seeing Vince? I like the photos.

Sometimes I get the horse with all four feet off the ground but it's all a matter of chance.

You need to get Vince to strap bunches of brush around his legs or something as camouflage lol!

Loved the horses. The white one seems to be straight from the fairy tale..it's so snowy white. And this time the girl is flying in the air with both her feet being in the air. I bet you and Vince are equal competitors of good photography now

You can see Vince's legs under the stomach of the horse. lol For this ride, people have an equal number of his photos and mine. I'm pleased to think I am pulling my weight.

@arunima25 I was ready to give up after this ride as, when I blew up the photos, they didn't seem to be very crisp or focussed. I thought Vince would reject many of mine. I deleted a lot before giving them to him to process but he said they were all fine so I felt a bit better after that. It doesn't take much to really rock my confidence.

@JudyEv Now that you bring it to my notice, I can see Vince's legs. I have a feeling that you are thoroughly enjoying photography. As long as you enjoy it, you will have fun and you will improve.
