    Secrets to taking great equine photos with professional photographer Carey Lee

    What's the secret to taking those amazing, jaw dropping images we see of each other cruising through the arena? In this episode we were able to ask photographer, Carey Lee, about how he captures those really great moments with our horses.  If you live in Manitoba and compete in rodeo or barrel racing you've probably been photographed by Carey Lee at some point and maybe even bought a photo or two. Carey Lee has also earned his spot as an official photographer for Crossfire Bull Riding. During the summer months he is all over Manitoba photographing equine events and posts hundreds of amazing photos of athletes, both horse and human. We are very lucky to have such an accomplished photographer in our area!  You're probably wondering if we asked him for tips on how we can take better photos. We sure did! He gave some helpful suggestions but honestly it had us thinking we're better off on the horse and letting him take the position behind the camera lens. There is a lot of time, effort, and equipment that goes into capturing and editing a fantastic photo.  We can't thank Carey Lee enough for joining us on the podcast and giving us some insight into being an equine photographer.  CONNECT WITH CAREY LEE:  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/carey.lee.908  CONNECT WITH US: >> FIND ALL THE EPISODES: https://ride-like-a-mother.castos.com/ >> EPISODE IDEAS: https://forms.gle/1nyjF8w791oXMCmS8 >> INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/ride.likeamother/>> FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/ridelikeamother
