More Barrel Racing

We had another opportunity to  photograph horses and riders at a barrel racing event.  There were more riders at this event.  The event was also a daytime event with clear skies and cool temperatures.  It took place at Horse Lovers Park in northern Phoenix. 

I was able to stand at the fence and shoot from ground level.  Because it was daylight I was able to set the shutter speed to 1/1000th of a second and let the camera choose the F/stop.  I was using my Canon EF 28-70mm f/2.8 L lens mounted on a Canon 60D. I also dialed in an ISO setting of 200.   These settings enabled me to freeze the action in the race.
