This little fellow spent quite a lot of time scratching and chewing on this piece of driftwood. It was as if he was posing for us. Magical...

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo of one of our horses in her stall while standing in the aisleway in our barn.

Time

This was taken mid-afternoon as she looked out from her stall at me in the aisleway.

Lighting

There was natural light coming through her dutch door from the back corner of the stall.

Equipment

I took this with my Nikon D750 DSLR with my 105MM Nikkor lens. No tripod, hand held.

Inspiration

I have always loved horse's eyes. And Ginny's eyes are exceptionally kind and inviting. You can tell a lot about a horse by looking at their eyes.

Editing

Minimal post processing other than adjusting for lighting, contrast and clarity.

In my camera bag

I always have my D750 DSLR, my everyday lens, a 28-300MM Nikkor lens and an extra battery. Depending on what I am going to shoot determines what other lenses or tripod I might add to the mix.

Feedback

Surprisingly horses are very inquisitive about cameras. When I lift up my camera to shoot all of our horses seem drawn to the camera. Sometimes it is tough to get a photo because they won't keep their distance as they tend to crowd me, LOL.
