Cory:
Many of the companies that do similar horse work that i am doing,do what i call shoot
and
hope.They
start shooting about 1 stride from the fence,hold the shutter down until the horse
lands,then sit there
with their face in the lcd screen deleating the bad ones,thus missing the next jump or
two.
My style is to pick 2 jumps i can get from one location and take 1 shot per jump.
On an average day i'll shoot somewere around 300 pictures.Out of those,50 might be
sellable.Not
because of my poor shooting,but i need the horse and rider to be perfect or they dont
want
them.
Hope that helped.
