Converting Word Processor files to HTML
If your word processor can save in HTML format (as can, for example, recent versions of MS Word), use the "Save as
HTML" command to convert your documents into HTML. This automatically converts the text portion of the document
into HTML format and saves each graphic in the document as a separate graphic file with sequentially generated file
names. Therefore a single word processor document with pictures will be converted into a collection of several files; keep
them all in the same folder so they won't get separated. You may need to touch up the automatically-generated HTML a bit
to get the formatting just right.
Digital camera - Most of them come with a cable and software to transfer the pictures to your computer. Some save image
files directly to a floppy diskette or CD-R (compact disk recordable). Most cameras save their images as JPG files, which is
the format used on the Web. However, most digital cameras take pictures that are too big to fit on a Web page, so you will
have to use a graphics editor program to crop or reduce the images to a more manageable size.
A color scanner is ideal for scanning printed pictures. Before you start scanning, set the scanning resolution to 72 dpi or 75
dpi (dpi = dots per inch). This will result in images that are 'life size", that is, as big as the original scanned object. To make
the image larger that life-size, set the scanning resolution greater than 75 dpi; to make the image smaller that life-size, set
the scanning resolution less than 75 dpi. Most scanners can save scanned images in various formats: JPG format is usually
the best choice. When you save the scanned image, choose JPG in the "Format" pop-up menu in the Save dialog box.
Changing graphic formats
The graphics and icons that are displayed on Web pages are separate files that must be in either GIF or JPG format. The
choice between GIF or JPG formats depends on the nature of the graphic. GIF format is most efficient for sharp-edged
computer-generated charts and graphs and flat-colored cartoon-like drawings, whereas JPG is most efficient for digital
photographs, captured video frames, and other pictures of natural objects. Using the proper format will give you the best
image quality AND the smallest file sizes, which minimizes the time it takes to view the pictures with a slow Internet
connection.
Photographing a Horse
 All applicants for registration must be accompanied by a set of at least four photographs. These should be taken in
good light and include a front view, a rear view and views of both sides of the horse. The entire profile of the horse
must be in the photograph.
 Scout spots on property that will make suitable backgrounds.
 May want to provide horses with a good meal and limit stressful or distracting events.
 Choose a bright, but not necessarily sunny, day. Strong sunlight creates dark shadows that aren't particularly helpful,
especially on a dark horse. If you are taking your picture on a sunny day, use a flash to eliminate some of the shadows.
 Take time to prepare your horse. As well as brushing, consider washing his tail, plaiting his mane and oiling his hooves
for a more professional look. Last minute touch-ups – fly spray, show sheen, hoof black, grease on face, body wiped
with towel
 Choose his best side and select a suitable background.
 Unless you have a brand new or leather head collar, consider using the horse's bridle (making sure it is clean of
course). In this way you not only have better control but it generally achieves a better picture.
 It is helpful to have someone with you who is knowledgeable around horses as you may want them to help you position
the horse or hold it in a certain way.
 Ensure that for a full length shot, you stand the horse with both front legs together and one hind leg slightly behind the
other. For best effect take the photograph in landscape mode.

Optimum time to shoot: 1) 30 minutes after sunrise to midmorning or mid afternoon to dusk 2) Bright sunshine or fill
flash
For advertising shoot several views of stills to show all parts of the horse: make sure the grass does not obscure the feet
PROPORTION
• The lower the camera angle (below the subject) the larger the subject appears: use to make a horse look more muscular
• The higher the camera angle, the smaller the horse looks use to slenderize horses and people
Ears up in equine photography is synonymous with smiling in human photography.
