Having ADHD and finding timing

I recently went and worked with a photographer and he was giving me instructions on shooting at a horse show(reining) and i had great timing with the stops and spins but with the leg movement i am having diffoculty bc my eye to hand response is off. So i seem to b unable to keep my eye on one leg at a time and my delay in reaction is very frustrating so i didn't know if anyone else out there had the same issue...guess i am special that way..lol..but i was shooting without a flash and got to where i was stealing his flash as i was taking my pics at the exact time as he was on the spins and stops. So any suggestions would b awesome.

That is my intent ....just didn't know if there was a solid part of the anatomy to look for in the movement ...thanks

Not exactly certain about what you are trying to do but how about not worrying about catching the moment with one shot. Set your
camera to take several shots of the action. You are more likely to get what you want with continuous shooting. If you try this for a while, you will probably get better timing just by having observed the action you want to capture.

Well....i was using the continuous shot...but as a test he said if i could learn to do it that way it would make me a better equine photographer ..so my question to u is are u being inquisitive to make me appear totally stupid or are u genuinely interested in helping me find a solution....because quite frankly i only asked the question to find an answer but obviously u don't understand the movement of the horse and yes i can take a continuous shot but that still doesn't allow me to accomplish my goal. So thanks for the input.

post some of your shots! I love equine shots. I have been watching and observing horses for over 15 years and focusing on one leg is not easy, especially during reining or cutting. I had to really focus in the beginning just to be able to get the correct lead when watching. So hang in there, I think the photographer is telling you with practice and focus you can train your eye/brain to anticipate, which btw is difficult at best with a horse!! Good luck!!!

Yes my eye to hand response system is delayed i think faster than my hands responds....so for instance when a horse is stopping i look for the dirt to start to spray when i take the pic and in the turn around it is in the second and third turn around. So the thing i am looking into a solid body movement instead of all four feet in my visual because when i am riding i can count therhe movement but because my response is off i am either late or early because i catch sight of all the movement instead of being able to focus and shoot on one ...so actually focus and reaction is outta wack...that is all, i have two parts and just need a different concept once i figure something out it is there but it will drive me crazy til i get it...so ,
