Horsing Around, Too!


Now, for more shots from the FEI KL Grand Prix at the Putra Stadium Bukit Jalil, 23rd November 2007.


Lady jockey.


Yet another.


Pit crew, removing the stands for the prize-giving ceremony.


Outta control!


Landing in the sand.


Making a turn.


We have liftoff…


A common sight – pit crew restoring fallen poles.


In relation to the previous picture, it must be one heck of a ride to jump; it’s higher than a human!


Smile for the camera!


Yes sir, like that sir.


A bit early I think.


This seems to be a straighter lunge.


Giddy up!


Oh and Happy (belated) Independence Day Malaysia!


Spotted a spotted pony!


With the little jockeys.


A combination of a few shots. Click here for the large version!

Oh, and click here for the outtakes.

Horsing Around


FEI KL Grand Prix at the Putra Stadium Bukit Jalil, 23rd November 2007.


The World’s Greatest Horse Show, in Malaysia!


Before the show itself, these horse statues with elaborate paintings were placed all around town.


Horse bum.


A little unicorn.


Inside, amongst the exhibitors, was an artist!


Check that out yo.


Bunch of civilizations in a mural.


Harith Iskander had a short skit there! 800mm F16 with the Tamron 200-400mm F5.6 and 2x teleconverter.


Fireworks, or the depiction of!


Besides horses, they had lions!


These lions could do stunts, too!


…and they don’t leave horse droppings.


Justin came by, bringing Ted‘s Minolta 200mm F2.8G HS APO (which I sent to fix)! Of course, this was before the accident, when it was in perfect condition…


Lau also came by with his Minolta 80-200mm F2.8G HS APO. Amazing stuff that lens is, though the 200mm is more HS (High Speed) than the 80-200mm.

I had just my Minolta 70-210mm F4 beercan and Tamron 200-400mm F5.6 for this event (which proved to be too long and was a lot slower focusing.)


Shot with the Minolta 200mm F2.8G HS APO.


Video man.


Roofward looking woman.


Audience of assorted attention levels.

That ends my horsing around with the outtakes – next, the actual horses!
