I need action photography advice.
I'm going to my local fair in a few days and taking my camera with me. I want to get some action shots of the horse shows. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My camera is an Olympus Stylus 830. It's a good camera and has a lot of different options. I just want to know what the best settings would be. I will be taking pictures in all sorts of different lighting (morning, afternoon, cloudy, sunny, etc.). What do you think would be best?
This is basically a restatement of my last question, but should I use the multi-shot setting (that way I could choose the best picture of them all) or should I use a portrait shot (which would make the horse stand out with the background slightly blurred)? I'm stuck. I would try it out, but I have nothing to test it on. I won't be around horses again until I'm at the show. What's your opinion?

Shannon,
The book that came with your camera will be the best guide. It tells almost everything you need to be an ameteur photographer. Be sure to practice ahead of time so you know what settings you give results you want. For me, what I did was to keep a log of the settings, film, and light conditions were for each photo. That way when you look back over the log, with the photos in hand, you'll know right away which settings you like, and which you don't. Have fun with it. Cameras and the moments they capture, last a life time.

When the horses are in motion, use the multi shot setting. If you are able to go up closer to a still horse, try portrait.
