Turf Paradise Ostrich and Camel Races 31 March 2012

Auto racing has its funny cars.  I guess this is the equivalent on horse tracks:  camel and ostrich racing.  

This is an annual event at Turf Paradise in Phoenix.  

The fans got a chance to see the camels at least up close, or behind a chain link fence.  Watch out that they don't spit on you!  

I took all photos with my Canon 7D and a Tamron 70-200mm lens.  Post editing mostly in Lightroom 4, with the exception of the panorama which I did in Photoshop CS5.

Happy Shooting,

Jim Patterson
