Description
Here we go with the side picture.
I am very proud of my latest shooting results. I finally dared to take them in RAW and OMGOMGOMG it is just fantastic. Of course it takes alot of space on your sd card and the camera becomes slow but but can make a -alright- picture into a -really really nice- picture. And since my camera objective isn't the best, this is really helpful to edit the pictures.
So people, do pictures in raw.

I keep wanting to do more raw but the space it takes and how slow it makes my camera means I always lose actions shots I want and it pains me.... Then Im not really sure how to work it anyway lol but maybe I will try more often when doing stills and not action...

work with raw is the easiest thing, trust me. And it's worth for slow things. If the horses are running around, you might want to do jpg picture

Suggestion for shooting conformation shots of stock type horses! (Just my personal observations from working for the past couple years).
Take one or two steps towards the hindquarters to make the hindquarters look larger/more in proportion. Always have the near hind leg set up square or slightly under the body, but never strung out. It will make the back and loin area look longer/weaker.
Suggest that the person that is assisting and helping get the horses attention take a couple steps towards you so the horse's neck is just slightly curved towards the you - barely visibly noticeable, but it refines the head and highlights muscles in the neck. Also, fitting the halter a notch or two tighter will help refine the head and won't hide the jaw line. It will feel almost too tight, but for photography purposes, looks best.
Just some friendly hints!
Beautiful horse and light and what a location! Wow! I'd love to shoot there!!

Hey there, thanks for the advice :]
Those hints are quite helpful for the next shooting! I did try on the others, I know that his hindquarters are "too far away" not sure how to describe it differently right now
We did throw some grass leaves infront of them so they arched their necks 
The hindleg part is true, I thought about it but in the end we had them all stung out... good point.
It's Germany, close to the black forest :]
