I know Hall Place Equestrian Centre in Reading do a lot of shows during the year. They have a dressage this Friday 26th July for example. http://www.hall-place.com/

Although I personally value hearing other peoples thoughts on this subject, from both camps, it does seem that people are jumping in this discussion having not read all the previous posts (although I appreciate in this thread there are many) and are therefore missing some of the facts. You may...

Wow, this thread is still going, I really thought it had died a death a while ago! There are a few comments I would like to add regarding the recent additions to this thread (last 2 or 3 pages). There are a number of things to remember when talking about "proofs". The images are still...

Mike, I'm really not sure what planet in our solar system you live on, but I'm not convinced it's Earth. You are suggesting that as a race it is within our nature to steal? Well I hate to break that mould but I don't go around taking what is not mine, neither do my children. Why? because I had...

I don't see any issue in providing a link to a page that contains that image, but that's my view. The only time I would imagine there could be an issue (dependant entirely on the views of the owner of that image) is if you were to embed that image in another page directly using deep linking...

I have to admit I have been bewildered by some of the comments I have read here. Some seem to indicate that the photographers are somehow to blame for all this, other comments seem to indicate that because people want something fast they should just take it and then there are sweeping...

Most of the photographers on here have been working in this business many many years. They have over that time worked out what their customers want and have been providing that. I have worked in product innovation for some very large corporates over the years so I know about market research...

Just catching up on the last couple of pages of comments. Proves a point I made earlier, people base their opinions of "all photographers" on their experiences with one or two, i.e. they taint all of us with the same brush whether that be a good or bad experience. There is almost an assumption...

Tim has done some great equine portraiture work and is one of those "lucky few" who have made a name for themselves in the equestrian photography world. His abstract images are thought provoking and are in reality "fine art" images you would happily see up on a wall. However there is a "huge"...

Hi Rambo, thanks for the response. I appreciate your view on the selling price and that's the beauty of a democracy, we can all have different views :) In my mind, as much as you could argue something is better than nothing (in certain situations that is very true) I still hold the line that...

I can only add my thoughts here and not those of my employer! :) Running a photography business is no different to any other. The money coming in has to be more than the money going out, end of. If you are selling all your photos at a loss, then you're not going to be around a very long time...

I just came across this thread on the H&H facebook and as an equestrian photographer I felt the need to reply to the comments that I read. FYI, here's what I posted... Hi, as a professional equestrian photographer I can add some light to this... It's illegal to use any image, whether printing...
