Katie Price aka Jordan – Horse Of The Year Show 2008

My latest job for the Birmingham Post & Mail took me to The Horse Of The Year Show at the NEC to photography Katie Price aka Jordan. Katie performed a dressage to music.
 
I was given a 80-200 lens, and used my D200 camera. The lights in the arena were turned down low with coloured spotlights as the main lighting.

I couldn’t have dropped the shutter speed much lower with the subject moving about.
