Middleburg Point to Point

Another beautiful Sunday! The wedding I photographed as an assistant yesterday went well. As can be seen, I do not do as many weddings comparatively to the start of my career. When you do not do it consistently, it takes a little more out of you. Today, I’ll recover a little for sure. There was a lot of lifting and walking yesterday! Hopefully, I was useful as an assistant and second shooter.

With the Kentucky Derby run yesterday, I was reminded of our day at the Middleburg Hunt Point to Point last weekend. Besides the horse racers and tailgaters, there were also lots of other animals in the crowd enjoying the festivities. The horses were not the only animals roaming the park on Sunday. Being a large outside park, pets were welcome to attend. Many dogs came to visit, some of them even dressed for the Best Bow Tie and Best Bonnet contests. The owners were proud to show off their costumes and introduce the crowds to their costumed contenders.

Middleburg Hunt – Point to Point

Here are some of the photos from last Sunday’s Middleburg Hunt Point to Point. It was drizzling all day even though we had a weatherman on site! The weather did not dampen the spirits of the guests, however. There was plenty of food from some creative tailgates. The judging this year was tough with colorful decorations, and some unique themes. The “Mad Hatter” tailgate was particularly memorable for the costumes and the unique bottles of “potions”.

I also enjoyed seeing the best bonnet and best tie competitions in the afternoon. In addition to the setting, the dress also makes the event. Of course throwing a little competition in there makes the contestants go for the prize!

But the highlight for me is still the horse racing. I did not get as many shots of the racing this year since many of the finishes were too good to miss! The thundering sound of the horses coming to the end of the race had me riveted to the action. Here are some of my favorites from just after the races ended. Enjoy!

Day at the Races

It was a late night of dancing at the Salsa-Bachata Throwdown last night. And it’s an early call this morning at the races! At this time, I am out getting some video and photos at the racetrack. I’m getting some good video for a personal project. The red car below was built and raced by my father in law. It is a beautiful convertible that resembles a Shelby Cobra. I particularly like the peal red paint. It is easy to find as his group zips around the track.

Since this is a large racing facility, you cannot see all the track from any vantage point. With this in mind, you need to pick certain areas and stay in that area for the entire race. Although you cannot see everything, there is nice access to exciting curves around the infield. I plan to have a short video to share with you soon. It’s a beautiful day to be outside! Hope you too are enjoying the weather.
