Andy's Day 24 Photo

Can you believe it's the 24th already? Crazy. The month of January has flown by. Today I went to the stables to visit my horse and of course brought my camera.
I took these photographs during my visit. Here are my Day 24 pictures...

This past Saturday I assisted Stacy on an engagement photo shoot at the Center. She's showing me the ropes around a professional photography environment and rigid lighting manipulation.
I haven't shot in a studio atmosphere in almost a year, and more notably- I haven't shot with auto focus (or with a moving main subject in focus) in just as long! 
I had some issues with autofocus yesterday, I started to notice a problem while I was shooting but couldn't figure it out, and once I was in the digital darkroom the results were as I suspected. I'm using a Canon 5d Mark II, focus mode is on one shot using the center point only.
I've been shooting with my ISO really high and was skeptical about going to high for this type of documentation, not knowing the results first hand. I still stayed relatively high around 1200, I think the shutter might have been towards the slower side for the amount of movement as well as the aperture too opened up. I felt slightly stuck because of the amount of available light. 
Anyways, I'm really enjoying learning trustworthy information about strobe lighting, as well as handling clients. We worked with rim lighting for their faces, hair lighting from overhead, as well as working with a beauty dish as the main light source from the front. As for my shots I was working with 2 different color temperatures from the room lighting and the modeling lights, which I initially thought would present a problem, but honestly it seemed to leave a pleasant cast.
As for the focusing I guess I have some issues to work out, but for now I'm enjoying slowly adding the lighting techniques to my repertoire.
