Whoa.... Slow Down Horsey!!

Uploaded: April 14, 2008

Description


I had the pleasure of photographing this little cowboy this past Sunday. Him and his parent were so much fun and a pleasure to work with. This little guy is almost 3 months old, and has such beautiful blue eyes.

You will be seeing several pictures of this little one over the next few days.

ISO 400, 1/160, 4.5, handheld

I did clone out his mother's hand as she was holding onto him. I also added contrast, added a level layer, played with color curves, and resized for web.

As always, I want to know what you think!! All feedback, advice, and commnts are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for looking!! Happy Monday!!


Exif: F Number: 4.5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/160 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 50.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT

Hi Amber, I like the way you capture the little boy's expression, tho am not really into artificial background. the concept is ok. tho in my pov would have use the rule of thirds, maybe more space on the left.

overall did ok.
