Julie,

I was also curious about something you said in an earlier post; that you got your start in events because you had the timing necessary. Do you mean equestrian events, like 3-day?

I grew up riding hunt seat and later dressage, and as soon as I had a camera in my hand my natural subjects were people and their horses. Sometimes riding, sometimes in competition, sometimes just hanging out together.

I think I am really learning the ins and out of flash photography now, because that is one thing I didn't need/didn't learn in my earlier iterations, beyond "if it's dark, use a flash." Lighting is a very sophisticated art.

Anyway, I was just curious about you. And I wanted to thank you for your thoughtful and generous answers to my posts.
