This is the final image in this series of horses and riders on the beach. I allowed just a touch of detail to show in the silhouette. I wanted the rider to stand out against the sky, so I faded the top background away to white. Note the surfer in the background.

Horse, Rider, Silhouette And Echo
Another black and white silhouette from Morro Bay, California. The shape and direction of the horse’s head is echoed by the rock off shore.

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.

Orange Sunset
I gave this silhouette a burnt orange tone to suggest sunset colors. I gave this an extreme color temperature boost to overcome the cold blue and gray tones of the overcast sky.

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.
