Had a very enjoyable weekend,last.I was invited by a stable in our zone to take portraits of the riders, after our banquet,with their ribbons,trophys horses etc. Took the D1 and computers and 2 helpers(wife/daughter).They had it well organized with a rider every 15 minutes or so and have a very nice front lawn for backgrounds(blue spruce and white birch trees) I thought at best to sell 1 pic per person with some buying a second for grama,but nooooo.Everyone liked the pictures and wound up printing 90 for 25 riders.I stopped shooting at 4pm and finished the prints at home by 5pm the next day.Talk about mouse withdrawl. One thing i did learn was shooting this type of portrait you have to think and setup quickly as horse and rider move about quite rapidly and have your eye in the finder always or you'll miss some good shots. I quess the point of this is by using methods from lifes experiences and helpfull hints from the list members i had a great day and a great learning experience.
Dave Ps sorry about the D1 but if Pentax made a slr digital, wellllll.
