Technical Stuff:-

The weather was a bit dull and grey and so some fill in flash had to be used to give a bit of punch to the images. Lens used was a 17mm which helped with the fill in.

It was the turn of the Cottesmore Hounds to meet in the Playclose at this year's annual hunt meet in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.

The meet was very well supported by both mounted followers and local well wishers alike despite the grey, wet conditions.

The stirrup cup was handed out by members of the Melton Mowbray Town Estate and the Senior Town Warden Mr Richard Sage was also there to greet the riders.

This December has been so cold. The last time I felt this cold was when I visited my brother in Austria and the temperature went down to minus 24 degrees. Feels just as cold though. If you are going out with your camera in this weather wrap up warm and stay safe. Make sure you have plenty of batteries as the cold weather saps the battery power very quickly. Nothing worse than seeing that perfect picture then finding you can't record it. Also, bracket your exposures as all of this white can cause you to underexpose your images by at least 1 full stop. Happy Snapping. You can see more of my images at www.jimharrison.photoshelter.com
