Del Mar horse show

[Sweetsomedays]

I'd appreciate all the C&C you can give me. We have several big shows coming up and I plan to get all my practice in. I look pretty funny walking around with a baby strapped to my chest and my camera stuff in tow but a girls gotta do what she's gotta do eh?
If it wasn't so dang hot I would of stayed all day but it was not even 10 am and creeping up on 90 so I had to split.
These are all taken ring side with my D80, 50-200 VR lens hand held.

1. Now I know he isn't a horse. He was just to cute not to take a pic of.

Nice shots. I wonder how would using 1/60 sutter speed and panning would look like on shots like this. And if you can work the f stop as low as you can go to blur out the back round a bit maybe that would make for some interesting shots. Just a Idea.

I thought about trying to pan also. I will sure give those idea's a try. Thanks!

Good timing of your captures. I know from experience that it's not easy. A shallower depth of field will definitely help in getting rid of the distracting backgrounds. Awesome job!

My favorites are #3 and #6. Best of the bunch from your very nice images in my opinion.
