A girl, her horse, and her dogs
Sep 24, 2017 01:54:17 #
I took these this morning. My student had just finished her riding lesson and I had her pose with her horse in the barn door. The dogs were posed in the same place, but I sat on the ground to get the shots. The bright, midday light gave me the kind of contrast I wanted as well as good detail I think. The contrast may not be to everyone's liking, but I wanted the images to "pop." Next time I might try getting shots with less intense light just to see the difference and keep the subjects from squinting. A fill flash might help, too. We'll see. Feel free to make suggestions.
I used a Canon 100-400 lens on a 7D.

A wonderful set Vicki. Your use of the contrasty light with the horse and student worked very well, you put the light (and detail) just where it needed to be. Your perspective and exposure with the dogs made some very fine portraits, I like them a lot! Strong light can produce great detail when handled well, as with this set. Fine work.

IMO, you excelled on these, Vicki. Any of them would look great on a wall.

I love this set! The third shot is my favorite. The way the girl is looking at her horse and the way the horse's head is turned looks like they are in conversation. Fantastic. This series I call real life shots those kind of shots are my favorite thank you for sharing.

You've done a great job Vicki, the dark backgrounds make your subjects stand out.

I like the contrast and the fact that the bright lighting makes the background almost disappear. Good shots!
