How to Photograph Horses

This text seeks to explain to the lay-person how to photograph horses using the basic equipment available to most people. In a clear style, the author explains the basic equipment workings of the camera and talks through technical terms such as "aperture" and "DX Coding".

The book continues with horses in movement covering all the gaits. The author explains how to pan the camera, how to capture and freeze the movement and when to take the picture so that the horse looks its best. Another chapter covers jumping - both showjumping and cross country, - horse shows and hunting. The final part of the book explains how to take photographs for the press.
