Mid-morningLighting
Nothing really, but it was bright daylight, with a bright blue sky.Equipment
Canon 5D Mk III, Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens. No tripod, flash, and just pure grit at having 40 or so horses galloping full speed toward you!Inspiration
I was at a photo workshop led by National Geographic photographer, Jay Dickman. Jay made sure we had plenty of exposure to herds of horses, having them run across the range, directly at us, rider or riderless. Mostly I put my camera on high burst, knowing that out of the hundreds of pictures I came home with, some would be excellent. I certainly consider this one of them. Be ready well ahead of time, have a long lens and camera hanging from one shoulder and a wide angle lens and camera hanging from the other. Set your camera shutter priority 1/500, and auto everything else (aperture, ISO, white balance), high burst. Shoot RAW only (vs RAW + JPEG) because you'll get higher bursts and less buffering. You won't have ANY time to check your shots and adjust anything. The whole shoot is over in less than 2 minutes and if you stop for even 2 seconds, you've missed a lot. The horses come roaring across in front of you and you better be ready. You have to stand brave and trust that the horses aren't going to trample you. In fact, the instructions were that if a horse was coming straight at you, raise both arms and yell HORSE, and they would theoretically know to veer. And above all, bring all the courage you have that the people directing the shoot and wrangling the horses know what they're doing. Jay was the director and he was superb.Editing
Very little necessary. Adobe Camera RAW, Photoshop CC 2017, Topaz Denoise/Detail, slight cropping because everything I shoot is crooked. Of course, I had a little reason to be crooked on this one since 40 or so horses were galloping towards me and I was switching between 2 cameras, one on each arm.In my camera bag
Canon 5D Mk III and 60D camera bodies, extra media, cleaning materials, tripod, polarizers for all lenses, neutral density filters of all strength for all lenses, 100-400mm, 16-35mm lens, 24-105mm lens, 100mm macro lens, all of them Canon L-series lenses. I change out the lenses I lug around based on what I'm shooting.Feedback
Set your camera shutter priority 1/500, and auto everything else (aperture, ISO, white balance), high burst. Shoot RAW only (vs RAW + JPEG) because you'll get higher bursts and less buffering. You won't have ANY time to check your shots and adjust anything AND there's so much dust, you do NOT want to open your camera at all. Make sure you've downloaded all your shots from the previous shot because you don't have time to stop and load new media. Things happen fast!! The whole shoot is over in less than 2 minutes and if you stop for even 2 seconds, you've missed a lot.
