Emelie Lantz

Hello! How fun it is that you found to my page!
I'm Emelie Lantz, a 20 year old girl from Sweden who have two big passions in life: photography and horses! You will mostly se horses in my album but maybe other things like anmials and birds.

I have always loved horses but didn't begin horseback riding until I was 15 years old. Then I had owned several digital cameras and was in the situation to decide what I would study in upper-secondary school. I chose media with photographic picture as concentration to learn more about photography. I took my exam 2009 with high grades in courses like webdesign, multimedia and photogrphy up to C-class.
Since I take pictures of something as changing as horses I have not been able to learn change the settings effectively on my camera. Colors, weather and environment varies, I have noticed that I take better photos if I keep to one overall good setting than changing it all the time. I photograph with feeling rather than technique.

I have used several cameras and I have finally found my soul-mate, as you can say it. Maybe some pictures from my old cameras can show up eventually so I'll list them here if you wonder:
Nikon Coolpix S1, HP PhotoSmart M425 and Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS.
I have even tested Nikon D40, Nikon D70 and Nikon D70s which I borrowed from school. Since the summer of 2008 I have used a Nikon D60 with Sigma DL 75-300mm lens. I'm really happy with it and am finally used to handle it's weak spot: NO autofocus! I have to set the focus manually with the lens depending of what I see through the seeker, sometimes it can be hard but I have noticed that it's helpful when the motive I want to shoot is moving towards me, then I can set the focus on a spot and wait for the right moment.

These are some planned photoshoots this year:
1/5, Ödåkra Riding Society, Sweden: Club Championship
2-3/7, Blommeröd Arabian stud, Sweden: Scandinavian Open
3-7/8, Ribergsborg Malmö, Sweden: Malmö City Horse Show

Thanks to Ulf Fornander for the profile picture of me and one of my favourite horses, Black Pearl.

I hope you will check out my pictures and give me a comment. ;)

Jag måste säga nej till alla förfrågningar om att använda mina bilder på virtuella stall som stallet.se, mydreamstable.com, eftersom jag behöver ha kontroll över vilka bilder som används. Det finns några få undantag dock som jag har ögonen på.
I annat fall, om du vill ha en häst med mina bilder på kan jag kanske sälja en från min stall på stallet.se.
