Hi! Long first post, sorry
I am an artist who has developed a technique of printing horse pics in B&W (often after simple work with curves etc in GIMP) and over-painting in an oil glaze. It works well and I'm trying to work it up commercially. Have realised that some clients have existing pics, others actually want me to shoot some.
I've never photographed seriously and have gotten by on my l'il s9600, which can give amazing results in the right conditions.
But I need something which can cope with some action shots and lower light conditions.
Have no intention of competing with actual event photographers. Most stuff will be portraits of a horse standing still, some will want dressage or jumping shots - or just standing around the field waiting for the horse to do something interesting!
Thoughts please on super-budget packages of camera and lenses which might work. Ideally £200to£400 range. Not much I know
Totally happy with stuff from a few years back if that will do the job, not a brand snob at all.
Thanks in advance.
