Location
This photo was taken at Latigo Farms, Landrum, S.C.Time
It was late in the afternoon around 5pmLighting
This photo was shot under a covered arena. The lighting was dark under the cover and very bright outside. I knew I should be able to get a good shot.Equipment
I use nikon d3s with 24-70mm lensInspiration
This particular rider "Bridget" has long black hair and her horse "Diesel" is black as well. I thought that if I could capture her when she was just at the point of entering the arena I could get the shot.Editing
This particular photo has just a little editing with the black to completely eliminate any light areasIn my camera bag
Nikon d3s, 24-70mm, 70-200mm, 24-120mm, 50mm f1.4, 2-sb800 flashFeedback
To capture this type of shot you have to be ready for that moment. You must concentrate on getting the shot and not loose focus watching the event.
