Pony club people are amazing. From the organizers, to the officials, to the parents, to the kids, to the spectators – everyone was cheerful, friendly, exhibited excellent horsemanship, etc. The organizers found me some volunteers to assist with signing up people for photos, and the volunteers exceeded my greatest expectations with their cheerfulness and helpfulness.
I’m trying out a new online gallery site for this show. So far I really like the features they offer.
I’m the show photographer for the Mid-Cal Pony Club rally held at the Horsepark in Woodside this weekend. The place was abuzz with activity this afternoon as I setup my trailer and table. They found me a few volunteers to help staff my table so that I can go out with the camera and they can manage the sign-ups and radio me as I get new assignments. Pony Club riders are such fun to photograph. :-) I’m really looking forward to this show!
My 300D is no longer finding the focus point in auto-focus. I’ve had some repair estimates, from $150 to $300. The camera is only worth ~$400-$500 (fixed) and I was offered $150 for it as is by someone who would use it for parts for their 300D. So, I’m now trying to figure out how to move up to a 1DMII. In the meantime, I have a borrowed 1DMII that I’m using for the horse show this weekend, and I can always rent one if needed from K&S in Palo Alto.
