| Jumping photos!! Just thought it would be fun to start a post about catching your jumping in action! Has anyone else found it VERY difficult to get the perfect shot of you and your horse going over a jump?! You know, the exact moment when she tucks her legs up and she's just taking off, and you're leaning forward and it just looks so cool?!
Whenever my friends and I try, we always get the "downward" part of the jump which doesn't look quite as impressive, or way too early before the horse has even had a chance to take off at all...how DO people get those good jump shots?!
I had to resort to taking a screen shot on my computer of a video I had paused in the exact spot and cropping the screen shot, which obviously doesn't give you the best quality!! But here it is, in all its glory anyway!  Share yours!! |

| How do you upload into movie maker?? I wanted to do that, but my digital camera automatically uploads into Quick Time, which is not supported by Movie Maker so it won't upload into there
smrobs, great pics!! I really like the last one, you just look like you're floating, so cool!! |

| Most cameras have a action shutter mode that takes multiple frames in a second. I get my mum to use that mode when photographing me riding :)
I have plenty of jumping pics in my thread for Kai... Kai Photo Thread! |

| Yeah mine has one of those action things too, but wouldn't you know it, no matter how many times we tried, it kept taking the shots at "off" times!!! I couldn't believe it, it STILL wasn't fast enough (maybe we weren't jumping high enough or something lol) |

I'm also just learning - in my first post, that was the first time I have EVER jumped that high! It was scary, but FUN!!  You and Cisco look great, I can't tell you're a beginner jumper from the photo, that's for sure! |
