Jumping at Chantilly (July 2014)

You should be presently enjoying the 'Miserere Paraphrase' by Michael Nyman

 

France, country of so many and famous castles: Versailles, Rambouillet, Fontainebleau, Chantilly, Chambord, Chenonceaux ..., the Loire and Vexin regions ... Personally, I can hardly imagine a more beautiful framework for a jumping competition than the scenery by the castle and the Large Stables of Chantilly. A true film set! (More)

In addition to the horse-races they had the good idea to organize here a Five Stars Contest with most of the great stars of the international jumping. You may recognize Pénélope Leprévost, Michael Whitaker, Jessica Springsteen, daughter of the famous rock singer, Athina Onassis de Miranda ... among others. By the way, 3D photography is quite easy to do with monuments (= motionless motives); things sound quite different with galoping horses, especially because of the legs! Besides that, it was my very first try to catch racing and jumping horses in 3D.
