Photo assignment one, Event

For the first photo assignment we had to use the elements of composition that we had learned so far to take our first photos.  I chose to do and event.

Aperture: f 5.6, Shutter speed: 1/200, ISO: 100. 

During this assignment I struggled with finding a background that wasn't filled with pick up trucks and trailers.  The entire arena was surrounded, but I eventually concluded that having them in the pictures could portray the true atmosphere of a horse show.  I learned how to better photograph moving subjects and how to adjust the shutter speed and aperture appropriately.
