Equine shoot

[treeman]

Having had a run of shoots with horses that took ages to get used to the flash, it was lovely to work with this guy, who was an absolute dream yesterday. This was despite having to work quite quickly, as he had a full clip, and was flippin freezin!

I don't normally shoot in portrait format, and would have preferred landscape, but client requested it

id clone out the green flare and orange tinge over the noseband, otherwise nice..

 

[Rosco88]

Very nice indeed....

Was this the on camera flash or FlashGun etc??

 

[DemiLion]

Arrrrgh! You and your damned sunspots!

Otherwise love it, although it looks fractionally off straight.

The horse is beautiful and I like the lighting, nice background, but the scruffy girl kind of ruins it.

 

[DemiLion]

Scruffy???

That's pristine for the average groom!

Your wish is my command ;-)

It was portable battery off camera strobe, with lots of light to over power the sun.

I tell ya, flare, its the way forward.....but just possibly in this instance you may be right.....but only possibly

It is a little off cock too.

Lol, I'll tell her you said that! Horsey girls are notoriously strong

Beautiful pic, and that girl looks immaculate compared to how I used to look when I rode and cared for horses

 

[AndyBakerUK]

Lovely pic and fantastic lighting, also confused at the scuffy comments.

I like it- the flash works well with the available light

Ps Scruffy???? That horse is well turned out

 

[Silent-Sam]

No offence meant, maybe I should of put a smile by my scruffy comment

The horse is very well turned out.

 

[OptimusBri]

I think it's fantastic! Great composition and lighting

 

[cuthbert]

great shot and lighting, really shows the magnificence of the animal.

 

[fido18]

Very nice. Well composed and well lit.

 

[DPBP]

Very nice light, looks like it was taken at the perfect time of day.

 

[treeman]

Thank you all

It's a slightly different lighting set up than I normally use, so was quite pleased it turned out ok

This shot rocks! The sun flare adds to the photo. Great image!

Bravo Mark...that is one big horse (or the girl is petite, to say the least)...love the way you got well down below the both of them for this shot. That was key to showing the power of the animal and the spirit of the girl to handle it.

It's a combination of small (ish) lady and big (ish) horse, but you're right getting down always works for me

 

[scottyboy]

very nice

 

[ryanyboy]

Very nice Mark.

 

[LongLensPhotography]

I like it. It certainly has the classic painting look even if there are no fancy costumes

 

[treeman]

Thanks guys

Giving me an idea thanks.

I like this one Mark, great use of flash & ambient, really well balanced and the 'casual' look of the girl works really well with the beautifully turned out horse.

 

[ArcticAlaska]

Fantastic, it shows off the horse very well. Every curve.
