And the little filly Sugar has grown so much!

Last night I went to see the Lipizzaner show down in Stockton. I'd never seen it before. How cool! We had great seats, fairly close to the front. I took a million pics. Most are at least somewhat blurry. I was shooting without a flash in order to capture the lighting. Shutter speeds were between 1/30 and 1/125 of a second, all other settings were automatic. It's a really hard thing to photograph, because it's a moving subject in extremely low light (the arena is dark, the horses are in a spotlight. So a moving subject should use a short shutter speed, but then that doesn't let in much light! These are a few of the best. There are many many more, and even the slightly blurred ones are useful to me as art references.

The pics turned out great! It was a neat thing to go see :-). They are amazing, and such history - more than I ever knew.
