Brilliant images, i think jumping would probably be the most exciting to photograph even though i prefer dressage usually.

How cool are our jumps? Very well designed.

Did you see any problems with big cameras/lenses? Did plenty of people have them out?

Thanks

There were no problems getting my camera in which is a DSLR with a 18-135mm lens on it. I think you'd need to have pretty serious equipment to have any issues!! The list of prohibited items says large photographic equipment over 30cm in length.

PS closest I came to getting told off was photographing a x country jump with the flash on and I got told to turn it off. I didn't mind really (as I might not have known to turn it off for the horses) but this was an hour before the first horse was due to go round and I don't think the jump minded the flash!!
