Santa Fe Photo Workshop

Walking the Fence – I photographed this horse walking along the fence from a distance, framing the shot with leaves on top and shadows at the bottom. I took many pictures from this spot; this one worked best because of the position of the horse's legs.

Self Portrait: Photographer and Friend – When I noticed these strong shadows, I couldn't resist the chance to make a picture of myself with my equine model. One of our shooting assignments on this ranch was to make a picture that used high contrast to abstract the image. This shot does just that.

Inquisitive Horse – This horse was pacing back and forth around his corral, stopping to peer at me each time he came to the gate. Knowing what he was going to do, I backed up to include the entire gate and part of the fence in my frame and waited for him to stop and stare at me. The shot met another challenge of this assignment – stopping action to tell a story.

Brush Down – One of the owners of this ranch brushes down a horse before riding him. Expressing action was, as usual, among our assignments here. I used a slower shutter speed than normal to allow both the hand and the brush to blur. Yet the shutter speed remained fast enough to capture her enthusiastic expression.

On the Move – Another ranch assignment was using a technique called panning to express movement. As this rider and horse rushed towards me, I slowly moved the camera horizontally while making this picture. My slow shutter speed completely blurred the background, yet I was still able to retain the moving forms of both horse and rider. I also deliberately underexposed the picture to emphasize the oncoming storm clouds.
