"This is another common skill used in sports photography. I mounted my camera with a telephoto zoom lens on a tripod and set the shutter speed to 1/25s at shutter priority mode. I zoomed the lens to its farthest end, prefocused and waited for the horse to jump. When the horse leapt over the bar, I pressed the button and zoomed back the lens to its widest end. This technique is useful when you want to emphasize the power of dynamic action."
