CSHA Memorial Day Showdown Event


We are finishing up the Horse event that we shot on Memorial Day!  PHEW!  There were over 6000 images to sort through!  This was a two day event with about 100 riders.  We definitely had some lessons to learn on this two day shoot.  Natural lighting of course and high shutter speeds to catch some action. A generator charged Laptop and some very full CF cards!  There is not a big profit to be made at these events and we haven't quite figured out how to get people interested in the photos we take.  Sometimes we have to ask why we are even doing it! But I must say it is very rewarding to watch the riders and how they handle the Horses and going through the photos in post production my mind goes back to those certain riders who rode good rides, came out smiling and ready to run AGAIN!  That's kinda like photography too!  We are always ready to capture the moment that thrills with a hope that the image will preserve the memory of the Ride! That's why we do it and will do it AGAIN! Giddy up & GO!
