Hi all.
Well horse show season is gearing up and horses that want to show and don't
have a
passport(thats
right, horses need em to show) have been contacting me for said pictures.
Did some Sunday at the farm we board at, and unlike previous years, shot them
all with a
Dslr as
opposed to film.
Most horses dont stand still and you need a fairly specific pose for nmarkings
etc, so i
tend to just
follow it around, camera glued to my eye, while the owner trys to set the
animal up, and
i just shoot
when things look close and up.
Worked out well. Both horses moved around a lot and wound up shooting 40 odd
pictures of
each, to
get 1-2 that are acceptable. Showed them on the laptop, client picks them out
then it was
off to
Shoppers Drug Mart were they have a Kodak download machine to get prints from
their photo
machine.
Decent quality reprints on Matte paper at $0.30 a piece. My charge $10.00 per
horse,mind
you it took
20 odd minutes per.
Ink jets prints are out as if they get wet and have to change pictures, its
another
$90.00.
Point of this is, when i did this on film, and i needed to shoot a full roll to
get "the
picture" I had to spring
for developing and prints. Now its laptop and Kiosk's.
Welcome to the 21st century Dave.:-)
