Foto-Kurs

Do you want to understand the basics of photography and, above all, be able to apply them independently?
You won't learn how to get horses to pose perfectly in this course, which is often not realistically feasible in everyday life and looks much less natural in the pictures. Instead, you will learn to make good use of an existing location and lighting situation, to recognize beautiful moments and to quickly make the right camera settings. So that you are always ready to capture them - but with really good photos, not just snapshots.
Do you have a camera whose potential you finally want to use to its fullest?
So that you can take good quality photos of your horse without missing the situation with the tedious search for the right settings? And without realizing afterwards that the gallop photos in the pasture are blurry because your camera's automatic mode thought you just wanted to take landscape pictures?

Then take part in the horse photography course at the San Jon riding stable and saloon:
2 days of learning to understand your camera and consolidating the knowledge gained in practical photography - with a large herd of horses and the Engadine mountains in front of your camera!
This course is for you if you are a photography beginner, have a camera and would like to take good photos of your horse. We train portrait and movement images as well as different lighting situations.
After the course, you will understand camera technology (the relationship between aperture, exposure time and ISO; Focusing) and can apply this in practice to take creative and high-quality photos. You will also train your eye for a good image composition as well as suitable backgrounds and foregrounds, which will give your horse pictures more depth. Depending on your needs, we also touch on the basics of image editing.

Good to know

Bring your own digital camera where you can make manual settings (aperture, ISO, exposure time). E.g. an SLR or system camera.

Of course, the photography knowledge gained is not only suitable for horse photos, but also for dogs and many other subjects.

The course is conducted with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 participants.

The course takes place in all weathers.

Insurance is the responsibility of the participants.
