What the course covers

- Camera settings and focus modes for fast, turning horses.

Practical and focused
Rather than covering every possible event, this course stays focused on barrel racing so you can master one discipline thoroughly. The same skills carry over to other timed events once you are comfortable.
Who it is for
The course is a good fit for photographers who know their camera basics and want to start photographing barrel races, and for those already shooting barrels who want more consistent results and better sales.
Lessons are organized so you can watch them before an event, practice at the arena and come back to review what worked and what did not.
