horse show

[maryclewis]

There was a jumpers schooling show at the barn next to mine. I wanted to go, but didn't have a babysitter. So, I took the boys and spent a couple of hours shooting (and wishing I was riding lol).

After looking at the photos, I felt like I was really off of my game. And I couldn't figure out why. After thinking about it, I have come to the conclusion that it was b/c I was shooting in the pavilion, meaning I was about 6ft in the air AND, anytime someone would walk by, the floor would vibrate my tripod. Bleh. Lesson learned.

I only have a couple uploaded b/c I ran out of my monthly MB with the free flickr lol. link:
05/29/10 Amen Corner's May Daze - a set on Flickr

Alright, I wanted to insert an image, but it isn't letting me

Hi maryclewis - welcome!

To upload a photo directly from your computer, just make sure it's under 250k or compression will occur. (click manage attachments when replying and u can do this)

To attach a photo from a 3rd party like flickr, just right click the photo you want and choose copy image location (or something like that for your particular OS).

Then click this icon above and insert the URL.

Hope that helps - Marko

Thanks! I thought I tried it that way, but it inserted text only. I will try again

yeah... that's what it kept doing the first time. I would right click and "copy image address" and then click the photo insert icon and.... that's what I got. LOL

Hi Mary
first to insert a photo:
click on 'all sizes' in your flicker. it will open up larger. then copy the URL below. Click on the picture icon and paste.

I looked at the pictures and I thought that all are well done (although a couple riders really pivot on their knees ).

your timing was very good and you really captured the right moments. I bet the riders would like them.

[maryclewis]

thanks!

Some of the riders were a hot mess, but that's what a schooling show is all about.... Most of them did a terrific job, though.

That one that you linked to looked pretty nice but small to see. If you want to post them here I created a little video to show you how which might make it easier.

My described method seems to work for me - here's the shot

Thanks a TON for doing that video again Iggy - gonna make it a sticky!
