This is my favourite horse portrait so far, pretty please be gentle with me :lol: Constructive critique most welcome :exit:

Aaaaah, proper Alsatians that don`t need a hoist to get their bums off the floor, lovely to see :love: Nice and sharp on my screen if that`s any help.

I`m not a pro and rarely comment as I don`t feel particularly qualified to but fwiw I`d say watch the timing a bit, riders usually like shots of take-off and level over a jump rather than landing or nearly landing so maybe fire the button a fraction earlier, some you got the timing of just right...

Thank you, you`ve been a help :thumbs: I`ll pass on the compliment to the owner of the lovely Chestnut horse, it was her first show in 11 years and the first show for that horse, she will be chuffed that he`s been complimented :D

I`ve been using my lappy for pp but now have a new all-in-one pc, the difference in screen brightness and clarity is poles apart though, I had to dim the lappy as it gave me blinding headaches and have tried to take that into account when doing photos for uploading, but knowing my lappy is not...

Two external hard drives attached to my laptop, and now got a new PC which I got an external Hard drive for a few days ago, important photos are now going on an external on each system, plus DVD back-ups, also I rarely delete off of SD cards, I prefer to just buy more cards though it`s getting a...

Only a beginner compared to most here so I`m prepared to be shot down in flames : A pro-tog told me that same thing when he was giving me dog agility photo tips, however, I did used to do it that way and often got poor shots as a result, so when trying to solve it I was advised by the peeps on...

Animal photography, mainly dogs and horses, is my thing so fwiw I love this shot :clap: If I were to suggest anything it would be to crop a few mil off the top to remove the very slight clutter there, [ the building and blue vehicle ], I think it would then have a timeless look about it which...

Ditto, doh :bonk:

It was same scenario for me for a wedding I shot last week, I used my 18-70 for that and it did a good enough job for everything I was after including in the [ photographically ] horribly lit registry office [ did some with and without flash as the registrar allowed it on the day ]. To the...

I have the Tamron 70-300mm on a Nikon D40, would`nt be without it ! I can`t afford `top notch` lenses either so did the same searching about before deciding on which one to get and the Tamron has turned out to be just right for my preferred targets to aim at, [ action shots of dogs and horses...
