hunt. As usual I researched horse hunting before the time. The or laugh every day. If you smiled at least once while reading this
common theme was red jacketed horsemen running behind story, my job is done. Cheers!
the hunting dogs. This is what was in my mind while at the
event, trying to get that shot.
I did get lots of pics of the horses and lots of the dogs but none
of them together. Needless to say, the picture I eventually pre-
sented at the club had the horses running with the dogs, just
like I had imagined. Thanks to Photoshop.
I also sent the picture to the Cape Hunt Club and they were hor-
rified. I was told that the horses never run with the dogs as it is a
safety issue and they don’t want the dogs getting trampled un-
der hoof. I still like the picture and console myself with the fact
that Hollywood changes history constantly to suit their story.
In Conclusion: In this ever-changing world I have no idea what
the future holds for me and photography, but I’m sure I’ll em-
brace whatever comes along, as I have done with everything in
my life. Footnote: My motto is to make at least one person smile
