David Young showed: What can be done with manual focus, a great eye hand
reaction coordination to the action! Not only that but recognizing what the
hell light is all about!
Subject: A Modern Day "Ben Hur"
NOTE to Keith Longmore.... have a look at some real good picture taking at a
fall fair! And see how it's done well. Without any excuses!..............
>>>>>>>>Rose and I spent yesterday at the Barriere Fall Fair & Rodeo.
Barriere is a small town of about 2000 souls, which was
devastated, 2 years ago by a massive forest fire. They lost their
lumber mill, which was the main source of employment in the town, but
they have not lost their spirit.

great fun and very fast!

manual focus on chariots running at 30kph is not an easy task!<<<<<<

Well David, auto focus or not these are right on the mark perfect!
Good action, excellent use of the light... SHOOTING FROM THE SHADOW SIDE!!!
And shooting subjects worth taking pictures of with meaningful content.
Good on you mon ami!
