Last Saturday we took the grand kids to see a Barrel Racing event. Suzanne Barnes, a friend of Eileen's was the organizer. The event was held at the Goodyear, AZ equestrian center. It was a warm night; the temperature was in the 90's when the event started at 7 p. m.. For those of you unfamiliar with Barrel Racing, it is a timed event where horse and rider cross a starting line, ride as hard as they can to 3- 55gal barrels, go around each barrel as fast as they can and then race back to the starting line. A typical time for a circuit was on the order of 18 seconds.
I was using my Canon 60D to take photographs of the event. I was using my EF 85mm, f1.8 lens. The arena was covered but had lighting. I ended up shooting at iso 3200 and 6400. I was shooting on the highest 60D cycle speed which is a little over 5 frames a second. Images were somewhat noisy and I had some autofocus problems.
Below are some of my shots. Enjoy.
