One of the main challenges with shooting action shots is keeping up with the action. In the case of photographing horses, making sure you know where the action is at all times is a matter of safety. I followed my younger sister out to her horse lesson to take a few photos. One of the main challenge was adjusting the ISO and position myself to avoid the shadows caused by the late day sun. Because I didn't have a zoom lens, I had to stand rather close to the horses while still maintaining enough distance so I wouldn't be mauled over. The autofocus would not activate because of the lighting, and so I had to manually focus each shot while setting the shutter speed to the highest setting. Towards the end of the lesson, the sun was in a better position to create highlights on the beautiful animals.
