Middleburg Spring Races


Two-horse race, originally uploaded by soleil1016.

I spent a beautiful sunny afternoon watching the spring steeplechase races in Middleburg, Virginia last Saturday. Our picnic spot was right on the rail just before the turn to the finish line, which made for some exciting duels down the stretch home and plenty of great photo opportunities. I did a little experimenting with panning as well; the most successful attempt was probably the photo above, taken with an exposure of 1/60 second.


A few more of my favorite shots follow below.
