Location
Napa, California.Time
Early evening.Lighting
It was taken right before sunset which helped the lighting to be soft.Equipment
Equipment used was a NIkon D750 with the nikon lens 80-400mm, hand held.Inspiration
My friend's daughter was training to compete in a horse riding competition. I wanted to have photo of her riding to put on her wall for memory sake.Editing
The photo was processed in Lightroom. I converted it to black and white, increased contrast and clarity, reduced noise, and darkened the blacks.In my camera bag
Currently, I carry a SB700 flash, Nikon cameras - D500 and D810 and lenses 24-120 and 80-400.Feedback
In capturing action I have found that being parallel, enables me to have the main subject sharp. Shutter speed on this photo was 1/1600, Iso 4500, f 5.6 and 150mm settings. In situations like this I shoot in bursts and try to be patient for the right scene.
