Equine (noun): a horse or other member of the horse family.
Scott Lindquist recently shared with Delkin his top three tips on shooting this action packed style!
“I enjoy capturing cowboys and cowgirls in action in various avenues. Currently, cowboy mounted shooting has been my main focus, but I am always open to new and exciting sports that showcase the skill and abilities of the horse and rider.” Scott tells us.
TIP #1:
Use fixed focal length, high quality lenses. I often get asked by other photographers how I get my images to look so good. Using a high-quality fixed focus lens will give you better quality than a lower quality zoom lens. This is one of the best pieces of advice given to me when I started.
TIP #2:
Often at competitive equine events you don’t have a choice of background. Using the largest aperture possible, makes it easier to focus on the subject (horse and rider) by obscuring or blurring the background, which then makes the subject stand out.
TIP #3:
Find the angle and/or moment that best incorporates the picture you want to get in that run and commit to it, focus there. Quality vs. quantity is key. If you try to get too many shots in one run it will deteriorate the quality of the shots.
