I'v been doing this for about 12 years now and have my timing set up by sound and certain points on the horse. Each of my cameras have slightly different shutter lags, and i have to remember what i'm shooting so i can time the shots. There are 1-2 decent venues that have nice backgrounds, but those shows are allways taken. The zone we show, and i shoot in, has pretty crappy surrounds i'm afraid. Sort of find the best place to have the best of the worst back ground and stand there.:-) Dave > > Set your camera up to one side of a jump, using the sky as a background, > wide angle, polarizer, remote trigger.
