Behind The Lens
Location
We were visiting friends at their home in Arkansas. They have a small farm on a few acres.Time
It was nearing sunset. It was a clear and beautiful that late autumn afternoon.Perfect.Lighting
It was just before golden hour hit so it still had a lot of bright light but a slight warmness to it.Equipment
At the time I only had my Nikon D90 on me with a polarized filter on it . I believe was using a 24-70mm lens.Inspiration
I was walking around visiting with the animals on the farm. The horses were being absolutely lovey. I took about 12 shots of them and this particular image stood out to me . Their names are Pep and Casey.Editing
Once I got into Lightroom , I explored the B&W presets and upped the contrast. The vignette was a bit tricky because of how it would change the mood of the image. Deciding which mood spoke to me more was tie between 3 possible outcomes.In my camera bag
Depends if I have my Nikon bag or Canon bag. Both contain an 85mm, 24-70mm and usually a super wide angle. I've recently have fallen in love with LEE filters. Especially the BIG STOPPER and gradient filter. They were extremely useful at our last trip to the Montana/Yellowstone/Grand Tetons where the sky is incredibly bright.Feedback
Know that great images are everywhere. Just take time to see it, whether up high or down low, any scene can be a great photo.
