  This text seeks to explain to the lay-person how to photograph horses using the basic equipment available to most people. In a clear style, the author explains the basic equipment workings of the camera and talks through technical terms such as aperture and DX Coding . Starting with the formal standing horse photograph used in showing classes, he reveals the tricks of the trade to get the horse into the correct stance for head-on photographs and photographs of mares and foals. The book continues with horses in movement covering all the gaits. The author explains how to pan the camera, how to capture and freeze the movement and when to take the picture so that the horse looks its best. Another chapter covers jumping - both showjumping and cross country, - horse shows and hunting. The final part of the book explains how to take photographs for the press.
