Dusted off the camera after a few years and nearly killed myself getting to the racecourse!

Great captures all. But it is the shame the snow is so blown out. Did you capture in RAW? if so, you may be able to claw some detail back.

Strong action images. You pressed the button at exactly he right time for these. Agree with Mr Darcy that a little more texture in the snow would improve these.

Thanks for the comments..

Absolutely right that the snow is overblown. In fact the whole series were overexposed. I'm fairly rusty after a few years away from the camera. Looking forward to getting back into it.

Shakey some great photos. You've got close enough to capture a great expression in the 3rd. Well done. As for being rusty, I empathise with you. I picked up a DSLR yesterday for the first time in many years. It is so complicated compared to my trusty Fuji's, but I hope I'll work things out soon enough and be able to drive both systems.

As for the snow, I never knew inner city Sydney was THAT cold...
