Please comment so I can improve, and don't hold back on my account.
Went out to the local Arabian horse competition today to watch my friend's horses entries. For Retief: I got hassled by the director, as he was alerted that some "freelance photographer" was running around taking pics, horning in on
action. (I remember your similar dog show story). When I explained to him I was just out there for the fun of it and the practice, and had no intentiions of selling a single pic, he seemed puzzled at first, but was ultimately satisfied with my story.
Simply could not find an uncluttered place to take Molly's pick in the shade, so we we way out to the outskirts of the fairgrounds, and shot there. Couldn't use fill flash on Molly's shot, since she told me the last time someone did that, the horse bolted.
She's one of the part-time groomers at Legend Crest, where I've been shooting those Arabians lately.
The other pics are just a couple interesting horses I captured while in the grandstands.
Molly's pic was shot with D2X/28-70, while the other 2 were shot with 70-200VR on a monopod.
