Some of it is down to the lens and the settings on the camera i.e. how quickly the shutter speed is set. Of course Dawn's experience and expertise with photography helps too!

Yes Frans right a fast shutter speed helps, plus you can get the camera to do continuous shooting which is better also.

No winnings for me, i dont do betting, except once a year on the grand national!

Poor "vera" had to be pulled out of the mud, she's all clean again now.
