Description

So something a little different here.  This was shot in the dark, at night, on a track that had no lighting.  And I mean that.  NO lighting at all (and, of course, no flash of any sort permitted).  Can't say I've ever shot a horse race in the complete dark before like that. It kind of reminded me of that part in the Black Stallion when Alec gallops the Black in the middle of the night secretly.  It was like that. Except I needed to photograph it and I decided to just embrace the inevitable grain and blur.  Probably the most unique request I've ever been challenged to do photography-wise so far this summer.  Not sure how I feel about it, photo-wise, but it sure was a neat experience.

I love my job, and I'm very fond of the athletes I work with. All images are ©copyright 1pen and my sports media company.You may NOT use, replicate, manipulate, or modify this image without my permission. All Rights Reserved.

Must've needed a high ISO. B+W is a good way to embrace the grain though :) Very nice shot!
