Hi Raj, Brilliant, provided me with many new ideas re composition. are you able to provide an overview of your editing technique. Your final picture are so clear and seem to make the horse/rider pop. Thank you very helpful video.
Guys if you ever want to come to Newmarket, I can show you how we photograph racehorses on the gallops, then down to a Stud Farm with foals, and conformation photography on Yearlings, the sales at Tattersalls, and if you really want with Burghley coming up how we photograph international horse events, with how to choose angles on the Cross Country course, the dressage and show jumping. Give me a shout
I looked forward to this video, thought I might pick up some tips from an equine expert, first think I hear is "equine photography in not really my forté" perhaps you should of used an experienced equine photographer.
really interesting to see a portrait photographer do horse photography! I really liked the photo with both heads together around minute 6. what settings did you use there ? I notice I often have difficulty having 2 subjects in focus when they are not next to each other
It was a thoughtful effort, but I am surprised anyone was OK with you using flash so close to the horse. Jumpers (the horse) are usually very skittish - they can see fountain pen or a stick and freak out. They usually aren't bombproof like a Western Quarter horse. Anyway, I would suggest caution to anyone watching who might try this.
Hey! Absolutely - people should always be careful with animals. We were with some trained horses that are used to the film industry and lighting. Thank you for watching!
Thoroughly disappointed with this. I got the impression it would be a masterclass from someone specialising in all things equine, but it sounds like I've covered more equestrian events that Raj. There's been some very informative and educational videos from Wex, unfortunately this isn't one of them.
Hi Agile, thanks for the feedback. This is not one of our masterclass videos which are longer and with more seasoned pros in the fields. But we will look to put something on at a more high-level soon. Thank you! We're glad you enjoy the events overall.
I’d love to know why Canon impose this damn side hinged flippy screen on us. It looks ridiculous sticking out, it’s so slow, cumbersome and conspicuous. I will never buy a Canon again until they offer us a choice.

Thanks Jason! Sounds like a great opportunity :)
Pity you’re not there when they shoot the racehorses for being slow or not good enough. Horrible, brutal and cruel so called sport.

I shoot rodeos with strobes. If you have good strobes with a good flash duration you will never have any problems.
very different subject matter.

I'd never put a $3000 camera so close to a horse jumping tbh

Hey Chloe! The screen issue is always contentious, haha!
