Horse Racing pics with new equipment

[ilzho]

Ok, so today was my second day with my new equipment. So much with 6+ lbs around my neck.

7D Mark II & 70-200mm f 2.8 L IS USM II.

Always learning, but I'm happy from where my ability was 2 months ago to where I am now.

I never thought I could get cool pictures like this.

2 months ago I was only a point and shoot guy in auto mode (that sounds funny) and never tried anything else with the functions.

Now with this stuff, it seems reasonably unlimited with what one can do.

Thanks!

Ok so you guys confused the hell out of me, hahaha

For my 7D mark II and 70-200mm lens....

I keep the camera in my hand or I use the Canon strap over my shoulder and the camera/lens pointing down towards me on my side.

My problem with the Canon strap is it's not long enough, IMO.

I do not need a smooth silky strap to quickly bring the camera up to shoot something.
