This easy-to-use and easy-to-understand guide teaches you how to bypass technical considerations and learn to see horses in a new light, fine-tuning your observation skills to recognise photo opportunities, and discovering how to take best advantage of them.
Regardless of whether you use a film, digital, or video camera to shoot conformation, action, or art photos, you'll benefit from chapters on choosing and controlling the background, working with natural light, communicating with the horse's handler, and looking at the entire scene from the horse's perspective. You'll learn to circumvent common problems such as distortion, distracting background objects, camera shake, sun flare, and the "spaghetti approach". Groves shows how to take portraits of people and horses together, and includes tips for taking your camera on the trail.
