They say that the third time’s a charm, and I wouldn’t argue with that. Three times I signed up to go to Tampa Bay Downs with the photo group, and twice something came up and I had to cancel. But not yesterday, and for that I’m grateful. Not only was it a great day weather-wise, but I really enjoyed the friendly group that gathered to watch, and photograph, the races. We had several press passes to share amongst us, and those passes allowed us each to have a turn at taking photos from the inside rail. It quickly became apparent to me what an advantage that really was. All the useable racing photos that I got yesterday were taken while I was having my turn at the inside rail. And they were taken after talking with the other group members and adjusting my camera settings accordingly. I would have loved to have stayed longer but I was feeling sorry for the dogs back at home, and had an hour’s drive ahead of me…
And, of course, I walked in the door and they looked at me as if to say, “Oh, are you home already?”
