KONICA MINOLTA 7D DSLR

I have been waiting for my schedule and bad weather to synchronize during the Saratoga racing season.  Well, Wednesday it happened.  My good friend Bob got me a back stretch pass ( he owns race horses) and I was like a little kid in a toy store.  The weather was perfect!  I used a Tamron 28-300mm zoom lens on the KM DSLR.  Settings to allow stop action were ISO 800, f11 for DOF and Tv of 1/250 sec.  I used a monopod for stability and used in camera Image Stabilization.  WB was auto.  The images were edited in Adobe PS CS.  Enjoy, Jeff
