For those who read my blog - I'm sorry for yet another horse photo, but I do spend a lot of time at this place, in this arena, watching this scene - a lot. However I needed something for the silhouette prompt at Exploring with a Camera (Kat Eye Studio). This wasn't taken at the usual sunrise/sunset time, but in the middle of the afternoon on a bright sunny day. I sat in the middle of the covered arena (in the shade) and looked outward (toward the sun) at her riding, and the silhouette was created. Thought I would add a touch of sepia to change it up a bit. For those who are curious (or horse savvy) - this is a working trot rising, allowing the horse to deeply round/stretch - she was also working on her stretchy circles - good thing to let your horse stretch.
To look at other wonderful silhouettes (that aren't all horses) - check out Kat Eye Studio's Silhouettes.
I don't think you need to apologize for your horse photos, they are stunning! This is a wonderful silhouette, not only with the rider and horse but the trees behind. I like that you can make out some of the details within the silhouette of the rider/horse as well. Gorgeous image, thank you for sharing it in Exploring with a Camera!
ReplyDeleteThanks for understanding & taking a minute to comment. I'm sure there are more horse photos in my future. I'm enjoying the prompts.
DeleteSherry, what a beautiful photograph..a moment captured with your daughter and her horse in just that position. And, to add it, a silhouette! It's stunning. And, I love the sepia sky in the background, with the trees as silhouettes, too. Really lovely. So nice to find you thru Kat's Exploring with a Camera. And, thank you for coming to visit my blog, and leaving such a thoughtful comment. Have a great week!

Hi Juli - hope you'll revisit me in the future - this is my first year to participate in the photo challenges. I've enjoyed discovering others' blogs/photos as well and look forward to seeing your photos in future prompts.
DeleteBeautiful capture. Love the details and the light.
ReplyDeleteThank you for checking out my photo. This was taken during what I'm calling my "sepia phase" - enjoying the warm tones.
DeleteHi Sherry, I noticed this photo on Kat's Exploring with the Camera Silhouettes, and was attracted to the horse bowing. The sepia gives it an even more mysterious feel along with the silhouette. It's lovely. Thanks for stopping by my blog also. (p.s. both my children married Texans!)
ReplyDeleteGlad you followed the thumbnail to view the bigger version of the image! I am enjoying sepia's warm tones & at the moment having a hard time not adding to every photo. Good to hear you have a Texas connection - although I was born & raised in the state, I admit it is an interesting place.
