Photo Finish


The alarm rattled the Chilean wine dreams from the night before. I put on my beanie, neck warmer, ear warmer (you need that with ears my size), four layers and boots and carried my 11kg camera bag to the top of a small hillock behind the hotel. Peter Lambert was the solitary shiverer when I arrived.

Within five minutes a dazzling visual display presented itself. The shots here are straight out of my camera - not one single second of Photoshop! 50mm prime Nikon lens, 1/30 sec f11 200 ISO.

Back at breakfast we watched a re-run of the Melbourne Cup and divvied up the sweep. We had to use Photoshop to separate the hairs on the horse's noses to determine the winner - it seem sFrench horses have more nose hairs.
