Wanted - Budding equine photographer !!

[Toffee_Monster]

Hiya

I am covering an event on Sunday in Milton Keynes and wonder if any of you budding photographers out there might be interested in coming along to learn about photography and get some practice ??

You should have a DSLR and lens (longer the better but if Canon, I can lend you one) and be free on Sunday 30th between 9am - 4pm approximately
I do not print pictures on site as yet BUT I upload all photos to my website by 8pm the same day. I can offer a small comission on your photos sold ;) and of course, some great experience.

If you are free and fancy a challenge please let me kow

What a great oppurtunity!

Is Titch_ anywhere near you? She always seems to have a fair bit of natural talent :D

[tandp]

Oh i would love to, but it's nearly a 2 hour drive each way!!!

[Brkr]

Oooooh i'd so love to do this, but its too far from me and i can't order my DSLR til next week! :(

[essexlady]

I just spoke to Titch as her internet is down.

She would have loved the experience, unfortunatly looking at the train times its a four hour journey on Sunday to get there:eek:

She thanks Palmerlover for thinking of her:D

Toffeemonster if there are any other opportunities please let her know , if she is not online can always pm me for her number :D

[Toffee_Monster]

Thanks all, there will be more opportunities so i will post on here when i have some dates

[Kis Vihar]

What a lovely opportunity Toffee_Monster. :)

I recall Lonestar was keen on being an equine photographer, but I think she's too far away. She's near Norwich.

You could try her, in case she doesn't see this thread. :)

AND...
Nat will be able to point me out, and you can see a few NR horses! :p

Nat, the annoying thing is, I'd LOVE to take up the opportunity if I wasn't on the ride! :rolleyes:

Thanks guys - I started out like this so thought it may help others out, especially with all the photography advice threads there have been of late

[crazyhorse97]

[cvb]

[karsteine]

If i had a dslr i would join you, but i dont and its something i would love to do.

[Julip]

Thats a brilliant opportunity! Sadly I am preparing for a big exam and its a bit far for me to go but if you ever come dahn sarf then do shout again if you want photography new bugs! ;D

[8-legged-pony]

If you were in the South then I'd jump at the chance! Would love to get some advice on photography and how to make the most of my camera. Just too far to go though :(

I recall him saying he was away for the week, but when i next speak to him i'll let him know if he's not already seen! :)

[~*sugarlump*~]

I reccomend Horseygal90 if she's free :)

[horseygal90]

Arghhhh

Of the next three days this weekend that my parents are off work - Which day has my Dad picked to travel to Cambridge for?! Sunday :rolleyes:

However this sounds like a wonderful opportunity so I will ask him tomorrow if I can maybe see if he can postpone his travelling until early evening...

Mind you, I look a lot like a lobster from Bucks County today ;) Lol!

[Spoof]

Just out of curiosity, do you find that a DSLR makes a difference over a regular camera?

I've never used one in my equine photography, but I see a lot of people are requiring them for jobs these days.

My goodness 100% !!!
Take a look at some of my pics, they say a picture says a thousand words - however a good camera does not make a good photographer, but it certainly helps ;)

[Flony_Pony]

I might try and pusuade Stevie to let me borrow his camera! Im no photographer but I wish I was!!!

[horseygal90]

Nope, the Holyness has said football is far more important :rolleyes:

If you get the opportunity again, please let me know :)

Agree totally! I don't have a DSLR, too complex for little old me, I have a bridge camera instead - I am an appaling photographer and it makes even me look vaguely okay!

[xRobyn]

I've never heard the phrase 'bridge camera' before, but I have a bridge camera too. I lvoe it to bits and would definitly reccomend it for budding photographers who don't have the money to spend on DSLR's. Although I would love to be able to afford a proper DSLR :(

[crazyhorse97]

i (well, mum) has a Canon 400D which i use from time to time but i spend more time with my little digi cam just because its smaller. i enjoy taking photos, just dont have the time to take more... =[ stupid academic stuff! have fun tomorrow T_M!

xXx

[Toffee_Monster]

you know what .... the entry level DSLR's really arent a lot more expensive than a bridge camera, but yes, i agree they are a good start !!

Well, looks like i'm on my own tomorrow, but I can open the opportunity up to 20th September is anyone fancies it ?? :p

[xRobyn]

Hmm, my bridge was £150 I think lol. I lvoe it to bits, but the DSLR I want is about £800, not including lenses lol

[So Green]

Well, looks like i'm on my own tomorrow, but I can open the opportunity up to 20th September is anyone fancies it ?? :p

Let me know if you get anything in Surrey/Sussex - I'd be up for it! ;) I usually 'do' dogs, but am just getting into photographing horses

AGH if only I was near milton keynes... it's something that interests me a lot.... bad times! Hope you have a good time, sounds like a fantastic experience for someone :)

[ginny!]

If only I were closer to you!! I have a pretty rubbish camera, but love taking pictures of horses :) (whether I'm good at it is a whole different matter:p)

[crankenhorse]

Shame I'm already booked for tomorrow as I could have bought a printer set up as well.
