The Essence of Equine Photography

In this course you will be introduced to digital cameras, shutter speeds, light readings, panning, posing, editing and storing equine photographs. If you’ve never used a digital camera, or you’ve been using one for years, you’re going to get the “how-to’s” and “insider” tips and tricks for taking great pictures of horses and riders.

Equine Photography is an elective course which earns credit toward an accredited Bachelor of Science in Equine Studies degree or certification as a Professional Horse Trainer or Riding Instructor. HorseCoursesOnline.com is the worldwide leader in online equine study programs for colleges and universities, serving more than 4,000 students in 27 countries.

The seven-lesson course begins with an introduction to photography. Lesson 2 is all about the camera while lesson 3 defines exposure. Lesson 4 is the “art of seeing” and lesson 5 helps the student define her style. Lesson 6 teaches the setting of the pose, while the final lesson teaches the capturing of motion and the storage of images.
