Rafi, literally the last stallion of his line of a Rare Arabian breed, staring straight into the camera in a field of soybeans

Reflections on the water make the fish seem like birds in a tree.

Behind The Lens

Location

At Barakah Farm in Central Pennsylvania (Benton). Upper Pasture

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

Simply took advantage of the last bit of "Golden Hour"

Equipment

Canon T2i, 70-300mm lens.

Inspiration

I go to Barakah Farm every season to shoot the owner's horses, fainting goats, chickens, ducks, and environment to help her promote her farm, the campsites and barn AirBnB she runs, and to help her rescue a rare breed of Jifan Malabar Early American Foundation Arabians. The colt pictured above may well be the last male of his breed line.

Editing

Just some basic color correcting and cropping. I don't like to over manipulate my images.

In my camera bag

Camera, kit lens, marcro lens, long lens, couple of rarely used filters, microfiber cleaning cloths, back up battery and SC card, business cards. Maybe I take an external flash but not very often.

Feedback

Shoot what you love. Take too many shots from different angles and in different lighting. And pay attention to your "gut". Some of my favorite pictures are of things I didn't even know I was shooting until after I downloaded the shots. Sometimes your brain sees things but doesn't tell you exactly what. Take the shot and figure it out later.
