Just before sunset on a warm spring dayLighting
I hadn't gone out intending the take a picture of horses. But as I drove past and saw them standing there with the golden light coming in behind them, I couldn't resist. The photo was backlit, so I had to use my flash. There was a risk it would spook the horses. But as it turns out, they didn't mind at all.Equipment
Canon 5d mk iii, 70-200mm f2.8 lens, flashInspiration
For me the most important part of photography is working with beautiful light...when I saw the horses and the light, I knew I had to take a photo. As luck would have it, I had my equipment with me.Editing
Yes, I shot this in RAW and edited it for shadows, contrast, colours etc.In my camera bag

Have an open mind...when you see something beautiful, trust your instincts and stop to take a picture. Be bold and brave, not safe. Anyone can snap a nice picture on f8, but it takes skill to get a photo at f2.8 with the subjects in perfect focus. Take a risk because the end result will have more wow factor.
