Thanks again Twizzel, I appreciate your help!! Seems I will have to really think about this!

Thanks Twizzel. Yep, don't worry, I only go to shows where there is no other photographer, and I always introduce myself to the organisers.

GULP!! Really!?? I was looking at the Canon CP900, which is a portable photo printer, I thought something like that would be suitable??

Hi guys, I am really doing well with my photography, have got quite a few pictures of mine in a local monthly horse magazine, and the owner of the mag always gives me heads up of shows coming up. I also sell the photos to the competitors, but after the show, rather than at the show. This...

But if I do this, they could say they pay the other photographers X amount, and how would I know if this is true or not?

That's why I asked you knowledgeable people! Thanks for the advice Dave P :)

Hi, Thanks for the reply so far. The magazine is the main one anyone in the know would buy if they wanted to see results and other show dates etc. It really the only one in the area really. It is also seen as quite an achievement if a competitor makes it into the mag, especially the front...

Hi guys! I have been contacted by a local horse magazine that publish show results etc. and have asked how much I would sell some of my photos to them, for them to then publish in the mag each month. The quantity they would want could vary from a few to up to 10 or more, depending on how...

WOW Lez325, that shot is brilliant! Looks like the woodpecker actually waited for you, even though, like you say, they don't sit around for long!!

I agree, probably a bad example!! The horse was trotting past me, and yes, I have already adjusted this in editing, and blown it out! So give me some advice. What settings would you have for a moving object like a horse, in slightly overcast conditions? All your help is really...

Hi, Thanks for the responses. Here is one of my pictures: (ISO 500, 200mm, f/4.5, 1/3200) I agree with the under exposure, as I can always bring it up when editing. Would bringing the ISO up make the pictures more noisy, and if I slow the s/s down to 1000, how will that affect the...

I have hardly cropped them when editing them, and I wasn't too far from the action, so its not like I was using the lens to its max. I totally agree to, flash gun + horses = nightmare!! I will get some un-edited pictures up, so you can see them from RAW. Thanks again guys!

Exactly!! Being a horse rider myself, I know what could happen and that's why I was hoping this would not be the only way to solve the problem!! There would be horses and riders flying everywhere!! I will try to get some examples loaded, but may have to wait until tonight... See what I can do.

Hi, hope this is in the right section. I went to a local horse show at the weekend. Weather was average, some sunny spells, but mostly over cast. I looked at the pictures last night, and they all seemed very noisy. I had the shutter speed up high (due to movement, approx. 2000-3200) on my...

So, My partner and I are off work for a week soon (YAY!) and want to go out for a couple of days with the cameras. We are based in Essex, and plan to hit London one day, but any other places in Essex that are worth visiting with a camera? I quite like nature shots, so something along this line...
