Horse + Strobe =

Just thought I'd share a shot I did yesterday. Got to say I love this, they are much more settled with the flashing than I thought. Going to be many more on the way like this...

Very nice Jenna!

Thank you! Starting with the flash was scary, but getting it off camera was the best thing I ever did, even if it just cabled for now. I love being able to control the light and am constantly learning!

Very, very, very nice, Jenna! Love this shot!

Funny enough, I took a couple of pictures of some horses while in Lexington yesterday. I wondered how they would react to a flash. But not knowing much about horses I was afraid to try!

But you did try and the result is fantastic!

I concur with the others; this is fabulous! Looking forward to seeing more!

Nice shot. I've always been afraid of how much a flash would bother/spook a horse but it doesn't sound like you had any problems.

Thank you all, I'm looking forward to doing more! Especially full body shots! Just need the rain to stop now!

Really nice. There is one thing I'd say, which is more of a suggestion than a criticism, but I'm thinking the horse's eye could use a few strokes of the burn tool. As it is, the pupil has a bit of a "milky" look to it, and I think it'd look better if it were black.

Very nice! Few animals touch the human heart as do horses and dogs.

what lighting and did you diffuse it?

 

[theraven]

Yes I agree about the eye, thank you. It was a single off camera flash with a small soft box
