I went up and did some learning today with equestrian. Just playing around really to see what it takes to take those types of photos. Here is a quick shot from my first hour of shooting ever. Opinions and comments please on the photo and it's quality, not the rider's style (she was 13 and this was not a big event today)

I usually shoot things that move MUCH faster and it was raining all day and this was called "low stirup" I think. Not really much for high impact shots.

    nice depth of field

    too bad you missed the rider's gaze.

    woulda been perfect otherwise.

    Brandon, you could not have done a better job capturing the peak moment of this jump. Good color and sharpness. It is always difficult getting exciting shots over low jumps. They always feel a lot higher when you're on top of the horse. :):

    To me, it's a great shot. It captures the jump, the riders face
    (albeit shielded by the helmet) and it gives a nice sense of action.

    Post process wise, I like the technique you've used here. Very nicely
    done.
