Bajool Annual Campdraft 2011

I took 640 shots and got 2 of this rider and his shadow, I didn't even realise at the time it was only when it opened on the screen. There's not even a hint of a shadow in any of the other shots.

With a little bit of luck ...

you produce excellent pictures. Love the calf's shadow tail that is waving good bye.

Whoa this is some action. I love the shadow and the fact that you put it in b&w.

Aussie: Thank you Fred. Didn't realise the shadow was there until I saw it during download.
