One - focuses on
Eadweard Muybridge and his famous photo sequence,
"Galloping Horse." His work acted as the
precursor to the movies and inspired people across Europe
and the United States to begin photographing animals. This
first installment will also get you on your way to
photographing those sometimes unpredictable, always
lovable animals. For novice horse photographers, discover
how to interact with the horses. They each have different
temperaments, and it's important to learn the personality
of your horse.
Lighting is one of the most
important aspects to consider when photographing animals.
For horses, in the early morning or late afternoon,
according to NYI, is when the bright sun won't cast
unflattering shadows over the subject. Is your subject
most comfortable inside or out? It's best to keep your
model in their comfortable environment.

Two - you'll get helpful
tips and insight into capturing beautiful steeds racing
past the clock and towards the finish line. Racing is
entrenched in a rich tradition, and photography is a large
part of it. There are several techniques you can use to
get great racing photos. At a racetrack, a photo finish
can be as important as the horse that crosses the ribbon.
Try to get as close to the leading horse as possible and
take a lot of photos to insure that you have captured the
action. Panning with your camera as the horses
move toward the finish line is another technique you can
try.
NYI will also show you how to take pictures suitable
for a glossy equine magazine or for a portrait-sized
frame. Learn from
which angle to capture the horses. What are the standard
shots and the inventive angles? How much of the horse
should you get in the frame? And how many horses
should you capture? Which ones do you exclude? NYI's
series on Equine Photography will
answer all these questions and more!

Three - jump into the
pen to learn the art of photographing those rowdy
rodeos. Pay attention to where the steer is headed, but
more importantly watch out for any visual distractions and
get ready to capture the mayhem. Use a large
aperture and a fast shutter speed to throw the background
out of focus and draw more attention to the action. |
