SERC Championships 2009

I was very pleased to be asked back to the SERC Championships this year at Perth. The weather was more conducive to endurance riding than to photography, particularly on the Saturday! But as ever, a good atmosphere and lots of competitors. Special thanks to Scott Jessiman who came out to give me a hand and to Audrey for doing such a grand job with the beef sandwiches-much appreciated!

Down to business-the event has been organised into Start, Out & About and Finish folders for both Saturday and Sunday. This enables us to get pictures uploaded much more quickly and we hope you enjoy scrolling through them. We may not have caught you at all points but am sure we caught you at one or more. If you are regular customers we have implemented some changes- please all have a look at our 'News' section for information. Please note that if you were part of a family group or rode more than one horse at the SERC event, you are entitled to additional JPGs on CD at the discounted price of £7.50 each after an initial purchase. However, we can't automate this so please email us for details.

We are delighted to announce that our BRC Area 1 Gallery is online.

If you've not bought from us before, the gallery features low quality example images which are watermarked and less sharp than the actual images. Prints and downloads are full quality and we hand crop the printouts if we think it make a better picture, so if you have any special instructions when ordering, please let us know and we'll do our very best to accomodate your wishes.

This was a larger gallery than usual for us so took a little longer to organise and upload than we originally intended. Many thanks for your patience.

Please note that we are not offering direct downloads on this gallery as we have found too many email and web clients are blocking the downloads, so we will be offering CDs from now on with JPEGs. We are also offering 8x10 prints from this gallery and updating our prices to match this. More details on this soon.

We offer a high quality videography service for events, clinics, lessons and for advertising purposes.

Videoing of lessons, dressage tests and showjumping rounds are an invaluable learning resource as well as a record of progress or a momento of a good day.

Good quality videoing is also invaluable in advertising horses for sale and stallions at stud.

We can provide DVDs on the day at competitions or edited & personalised DVDs a few days later-please contact us to discuss your requirements

All sessions are available on DVD with or without editing.

Please contact us for more details and pricing.

We offer a variety of web design services from customised, easy to maintain Blogs through to full Equestrian Business Sites featuring e-commerce and managed content.

As an Equestrian Photography company we can also supply high quality images of livery yards or studs to give your website that added "wow" factor.

We also offer limited hosting and maintenance packages for smaller budgets.

Please email us for details and prices.

June 2009

It's been a frantic month or two so far with a lot of events to cover and lots of changes to our products and technology.

As people were having problems due to email and web clients blocking the download features of the site, we will no longer be offering JPEG downloads. We are now offering CDs with JPEGs instead from now on. These high resolution pictures will cost £15 with additional pictures of horse and rider at the same event just £7.50 each so please email for details if you are interested!

It has come to our attention that our Terms & Conditions regarding use of our photos are not always being adhered to. We ask that you do read the rules regarding picture use as you go through the ordering process. If photos are required for advertising or commercial use please contact us for Licence free rates. We are being vigilant and will be following up any breach of our copyright.

In addition, we are now offering 8x10 prints on our new galleries, and changing the pricing of the rest of the prints accordingly.

Finally, we are also trialling Twitter messages which we'll put on the site to let us give more up to the minute information on our photoshoots and how the galleries are progressing. We promise not to fill it with details of the daily grind. We're on @equiphoto if you would like to be kept up to date.

Next up, the SERC Championships in Perth. More news soon...

Also, we're on Twitter in a purely informationary capacity as @equiphoto. We'll be adding the twitter feed to the main page as soon as time allows.
