    Mel Doyle was the guy who was taking photos of the water jump. He was handing out cards on the day. If you google 'Mel Doyle photographer' you'll find his website.

    Yeah, not all the photos were great. My dad, using a very basic camera with a slow shutter speed, actually took a better one of me over the same fence than the photographer. That said, all photographers, whether well known and respected or not so well known, seem to choose that fence when taking photos at the hunter trials and events there. I've one from about 6 years ago taken over the same fence (taken by a professional)!!

    I shot in Bowden Park and over the 6 or so competitions managed to get to 5 jumps and the water over the course.
