Behind The Lens
Location
There are multiple photos in this creation, all shot at a friends farm in Cobourg, Ontario, Canada.Time
It was the afternoon when I took the original photos with harsh light. Not my favorite time of day to shoot.Lighting
I wanted the image to convey early evening on a farm, so I played with the shadows and contrast and brought the highlights down.Equipment
I used a Canon 60D with a Canon 70-200mm lens. All handheld.Inspiration
Since I have always loved horses, and my friend owns quite a few, I get the opportunity to photograph them whenever I want at her farm. The horses in this image are of a Mustang (grey), Friesian Heritage horse (black) and a Standardbred (Bay Roan in front)Editing
This piece is made up of 3 different photos merged together in PS. I played with the highlights, shadows and contrast to get what I wanted. I wanted it to feel as though it was evening time with harsh weather rolling in. I didn't want an overblown image, so I toyed around and this is the final product.In my camera bag
I usually have in my bag, now, my Canon 5DM4 camera, Canon 100-400L lens, 1.4x extender, my Manfrotto tri-pod, extra batteries (because you should always need them just in case) and extra memory cards.Feedback
Every person and horse are different. I would suggest to have the light on the horses face. Try not to always have the horse or animal looking straight at you all the time. Different angles are great. Cloudy days are best to not have a blown out horse or animal if it is white. To each their own I say. You create the mood you want to convey. There is no right or wrong.
