I’ve been wanting to photograph the hunt for quite sometime, but at the time of the meet, I’m either working, or training horses, or hunting myself!
However this last Saturday I didn’t have any of those to do, so I jumped right in! I’ve photographed all sorts of things, and photographed a lot of horses, but never something as busy and distracting as a meet.
Finding a good composition, and capturing the beautiful moments is tricky, especially as you have horses all around you, hounds jumping up on you (I got very muddy!) and many other complicated factors…
But the challenge was great, and I can’t wait to get out and take more soon!
