Geez, what was I thinking...

I sure set myself a job by saying in my last blog that 'next time I will show you the 'best' way to take a photo of a horse.' In hindsight (no pun intended LOL), what I could have said is that there are three million ways to take a good horse photo and that I am going to share a couple that I think fit the description 'good horse photo'.

This is one of my all-time favourites of the photos that I have taken of my boy, Spirit. It feels moody but not sad. I like the light. What do you think? Next post, I'll show you another one.

Mud and Photos

It's THAT TIME of the year again. A faint hint of Spring and of longer days, still mired in the paddock mud of dark afternoons. Just enough of a hint to make me impatient. Impatient for morning feedings, during which I can actually see the horses, instead of glinching my way through the mud and dark.

See this photo of Spirit. It's an example of the 'worst' way to take a horse photo. Next time I'll post the 'best' way to take one. In my opinion, I like this photo for it's goofy feel; that's why I titled it 'Spirit The Cool' :) I think it all depends on what your intent is for the photo. I wouldn't use this photo angle to sell a horse, but I would use it as an image for a funny story.
