Photo of the Month September 2022
Ticket to Ride by Susan Sheets
Susan writes about this image:
This photograph of jockey Taylor Smith on July 4th at Grants Pass Downs was taken while panning with the camera. Moving the camera left to right in a smooth motion while synced with the speed of the horse creates a sense of motion and yet retains detail. The racetrack is the perfect place to play with this technique. The camera settings for this particular shot were ISO 250, 124mm, f10 at 1/100 second.
Congratulations! Susan (lol, it’s me). Look for Susan’s image soon in the Daily Courier.
