Cury Hunt at Helston

On boxing day each year the Cury hunt meets up at Helston and then sets out through Penrose/Degibna on it's hunt. First time I have photographed this event, it was raining horribly when the hunt rode into Helston, this made photography almost impossible. After I got soaked I went to the van to change the wet gear and wait for the hunt to leave the town. Unfortunately my route information was not correct so I did not get the images I was after; still that will be sorted for next year! Here are some of the images I got.

Hi,

Whilst photographing the Helston flood I decided to test the video quality of the Nikon D4 and I am pleased to say it is pretty good, video clips links below:  Images will follow later:
