:: General shooting tips

Best times to shoot are early morning and late afternoon.
If you must shoot at midday, a use flash to get rid of shadows
A reflector/scrim (also called a "bounce") will light up a small area.
The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field.( that is the more you'll get in focus from foreground to background)
When the background is off in the distance, aperture settings of 2.8, 4.0, and. 5.6 will soften (blur) it, making your horse "pop out" of the photo.
A horse with a white saddle pad can throw off a camera's built-in light meter readings--especially if he has a dark hair coat. To adjust for this, walk up to him till his coat completely fills the frame, then note the aperture reading.. Use this setting for your shot.
