This was a shot taken during a portrait session for several horse owners. Portraits of horses was a new experience for me. Animals don’t naturally pose or take instruction from a stranger. Patience helps. June 14, 2009.

Horse And Rider Silhouette
The final three images in this series of Morro Bay horse and rider shots are black and white silhouettes. I increased the contrast to make the silhouette of the horse and rider as black as possible. It was a challenge to get a good shot between the two rocks off shore so the rider is visible against a lighter background. It was a further challenge to get a shot with all four of the horse’s hooves off the ground.

Horse And Rider At Sunset
Photographing the horses on the wet sand with the sun low on the horizon created a shadow reflection. I was interested in trying to capture the reflection and a silhouette of the horse and rider. Although it was sunset, the sky was overcast and gray. I boosted the orange and red colors to increase the warmth of the image.
