Ok I finally had the opportunity to see these larger. These are really awesome! Are horses abundant in your location? If so, you'll definitely make a great business!

There were 4 horses in the paddock, and with our presence 2 of them were playing a lot!
There was a lot of bucking and rolling and even rearing!
The scary part was when they were running and wanted to include us in the play..... with my attention in the camera, I would see them at the last minute!
When you don't see any white in the little view thing, you know the horse is too close!!! (50 mm lens) :RUN:

Thank you!!
Yes there are a LOT of horse farms in my area!
I need to make a 'flyer' though to go pin on stables' boards, along with business cards...
So far I only have a Flidkr site (different one with a different name) for my horse pictures...
I do not use Facebook but now I realize it's a must, since most stables have a FB page..
Then I could be 'friends' with most of them and their friends would see me!

Do I need a website of would the FB be good enough? (I am not familiar with FB at all)
It's about 20$ for a .com name, then 5-15$ a month for web hosting...
No way I can afford 500+ $ for web designer.... I'd have to learn to do it myself...

Advices welcome!

Other thing I need to learn...
How to make borders..

Let's say I have a picture from a horse show..
I want to make a border that will be thicker at the bottom so I can write something like:

Do you own a track? Or just work at one?
Horses make amazing subjects [:

im not acting like a king, im just telling simple things that even most newbies know. if those simple things gives you an impression of me being a king, that just tells something about your place in this whole photography thing. im just debunking your advice because your advice is in the same level as d2 guides on pala builds telling you to use sigon set because its very good and gives set bonus and all..


It took me like 3 months after I had started photography to figure out to what extent a sky could be recovered. I don't think he ever said anything about recovering the sky, but instead 'fixing' it. The sky can be 'fixed' a lot of ways.
Don't get all offensive about it. Both of you hold your own opinions, but at the examination of the words used, I can't agree with what you're saying, even though I usually do.

Make a wordpress site! I made mine with it. It's very customizable, easy to learn (you can google anything), plus we can all pitch in to help you. That is 1 good looking photo and a good looking rider.

I dislike your post production, your backgrounds look like a kid just went nuts with effects on photoshop. Ruin the images imo

No problem :)
Some people like it, some people don't.
My targetted market only includes people who want this type of pictures.
