Beautiful photos.
I picked up a Canon DSLR (my first was a Rebel T6) a few years ago when we started our non-profit equestrian club. I figured if I took photos at horse shows and made them available for free, people would post and share them on social media, attracting more attention and riders to our club. I was right!
Eventually, I invested in new equipment (a Canon 5D Mark IV and recently an R6 that I’m still learning) and developed my technique, whether capturing an action shot or an ultra-close-up of a flower.
