Things they don't teach you in J school: shooting while on horseback edition.  

For a recent story about hunting dogs I ended up shooting a portion of the story on horseback, the dogs run long distances and are very fast so there was no way of going on foot. I've ridden before so I wasn't very worried about that part. But this was the first time I had more than a point and shoot camera on me while doing so.

1. shooting while on the move= blurry photos and a sore nose. with one hand on the reins and the other on the camera it was just enough stability at a slow trot to hit myself over and over again in the face with the camera.



2. larger shadow to keep out of the photo.


and not to mention you've always got a horse head in your view...


overall though the page turned out well. here's a few that did run.



springy dogs

my last suggestion for anyone else who ventures to try this with expensive dslr camras is that make sure they are the papers cameras and second tie your reigns together
