Practice, practice, practice
Practice seems to be what we all need, no matter what skill we are trying to improve.
Last weekend, I went to a horse show that is put on by kids 9-19. The club is a county sponsored club that offers city kids the opportunity to interact with horses, even if they don't own their own. Some of these kids are just amazing. And practice got them that way. I, on the other hand, need more practice shooting in low light with things moving at speed. That's what these shots are, my practice.    Not for everyone's taste but I like how just the riders face is in focus.

Hi Deb! Glad to see you out shooting. You've pulled off some pretty good shots in tough conditions. I especially like the action in your third one.

everything is practice Deb, that's my way of thinking... it all counts for something.
For practice , these are pretty darn good.. and I know exactly what you mean, shooting a wedding reception in a dark catering hall with people dancing is really tough.. I can not imagine what shooting horses would be like ( well I can a little, I'd be really frustrated lol ) I LOVE the last shot , outstanding sense of movement, the red color really makes it pop and AWESOME focus on the face !.. that's a very cool photo !! Vin

Those are great shots in really tough conditions !! I love the last one. Everything worth doing well is worth putting a bit of work into, especially when you love it!!
