Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken on a Thoroughbred horse farm in central Kentucky.Time
It was taken just a bit after first daybreak.Lighting
It had been a week of storms & so, with heavy clouds, the daylight was somewhat more subdued than usual.Equipment
Honestly? It was the camera on my mobile. At that time, that was a Samsung Galaxy 7 Active. As far as specifics go, the camera was a SAMSUNG-SM-G891A. The Aperature was f/1 7; ISO: 200 & Exposure: 1/10. (I <3 Samsung.)Inspiration
As I said, we were experiencing a week of heavy, sometimes violent storms. That morning, looking out towards the yearling filly pasture, I saw the clouds rising up & over us as if I was standing beneath a giant, cathedral-like domed ceiling. It was a bit overwhelming but at the same time exciting. Meanwhile, the trees in the distance were silhouetted against the rising sun, giving contrast to the elements. Too, the red streaks in the lower part of the sky reminded me of a phrase my Dad (USNavy) would quote, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky at morning, sailor take warning". All things considered, how could I not take the shot?Editing
No, none whatsoever.In my camera bag
If nothing else, I always have my mobile in my pocket & I never know what I'll see. I've been in the horse industry all my life - there's always wonders to be found!Feedback
Advice? Hmm... When you look at things, see them. Listen to your instincts. If something excites you or stirs an emotion, capture it & it's yours!
