Women Warriors - Fall 2011

Some photos of today's competitors during the Bi-annual Horseback Archery Festival.

Taking photos of this type means a few things:

- You need to set up your camera settings for high speed shooting because a good % of photos WILL be out of focus because this is a fast paced sport.
-- I shot in aperture priority
-- ISO 400-800
-- Variable F-stops between 2.8-5.0
- Use your body to pivot
- I keep both eyes open when i shoot (just like shooting a gun) to help track
- Bring a few batteries and a few memory cards
- Move around and try different vantage points

All in all, I took about 350 shots today (low for what I normally shoot ((around 1000)) during this event). I'll probably go back tomorrow and try again before heading to the mountains to catch some fall colors.

Hope you enjoy.
