[QUOTE="Cowleystjames, post: 181197, member: 13195"] Video isn't the answer for what these trainers and owners want. Let me explain, I have been asked on several occasions for a run of photographs following a horses gait or stride if you prefer, over lets say 30 or 40 yards. A series of photos at 10fps with a thoroughbred running at an average speed of 38 mph and a stride length of about 7 yards. In one second the horse is capable of about two stride lengths or 14 yards at full gallop. I'm getting good photos for about the middle 30 yards or so, but I'm already shooting the horse whilst he's 25 yards or so from me, to 25 yards or away from me. This is so I'm swinging into the shot and following the horse through. The owner/ trainer is then getting a run of about 20-30 stills of the horse at full chat. Each photo is minutely studied to then see which muscles may need work on, or not placing hoofs down correctly, and generally the dynamics of the horse in question. Video wont give them the detail, even HD, believe me they've tried it. [/QUOTE]
