2 AnswersCameras7 years agoFor equine photography professionals and customers.?
I am a former professional photographer from the old film days. (1980's mainly). I had left the industry for a while, but am now being coerced back into the business in equine photography. My questions are the following:
1. Rather than sending images over the internet, do you send images via snail mail on CDS, DVDs, pin drives, etc? Customers, what format do you prefer ? Photographers, do you sell as prints or sell the electronic image ?
2. Sellers, do you have a preference on what type of "package" to offer? Do you find selling the image or a printed copy best when selling on site at events ?

4 AnswersHorses7 years agoNatures' answer to frozen water tanks or just a myth ?
I once read that if you dig a few shafts down into the ground a few feet below the frostline, then set your watering tanks on top, the rising warm air from the soil below will prevent freezing . Since cold air from above will settle down, I doubt this theory. Thoughts ?

1 AnswerHorses8 years agoWhich DSlR camera to get ?
I was a professional photographer in the 80's and 90's and now have been sort of drafted into getting into equine photography part time. I am thinking of getting either a Nikon D5200 or the Sony A65. Anybody use any of these two ? I own a Sony A330, but it took a bad fall (along with me ) and is not always reliable. I want to keep my budget to below $1200 as this is only a part time occupation.
9 AnswersCameras8 years agoA demand for BLM mustangs in Europe ?? (serious inquiry for adult horse people in Europe )?
In a fb site I created, we recently had an inquiry from a member that I tend to feel uneasy about. This person stated their intent to adopt a mare and a stallion from the Bureau of Land Management wild horse and burro program. The person than states she intends to breed them and then send them to Europe. She then asked how she could have the foal registered.
I can hardly see how the cost to transport a mustang overseas could make this a venture worth considering. The inquiry about registering has me wondering if that question is just a ruse to hide the true intent of breeding to satisfy the demand for horse meat in Europe perhaps? Or is there a demand in Europe to own one of America's living legends, the mighty little mustang ?
I need some serious input in this matter. Later, I can ask what color tack to put on my horsey. :)
