Stand Up

One of the major drawbacks of shooting with my Nikon P6000 is the speed at which I can take shots. It takes a bit to focus and then it takes about 5 seconds inbetween shots (when shooting in RAW) in order to get ready for the next shot. This means that I frequently have to anticipate what is going to happen. If it’s sports photography, it means I pre-focus on an area that I think something is going to happen in (which usually isn’t too hard since I’m pretty familiar with the flow of games). In this case, I saw a horse rolling around on the ground, looking ready to stand up. I focused my camera and waited. About 2 second later, I took this picture.
