RUNNING AGAINST THE WIND


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   RUNNING AGAINST THE WIND
RUNNING AGAINST THE WIND
This photo was taken at a local farm in 2005. Due to the new development in the area, the farm has been sold. The horses are no longer there, only the barn remains. It's sad to see such beauty destroyed by builders. The trees were cut down and stacked along the road and now the farm is home for excavating equipment. I'm thankful I met the farmer and got permission to take some shots of his horses before the land was sold.

This is a rework of this photo with some changes. No buzz filter this time and some added blur. FL 125mm, tripod, f/8, exp. 1/640, AP mode, RAW.

  I love this Cheryl! It looks like a winner to me too! Amazing colors, action and clarity on the horses. Beautifully blurred background. And, I am sad too that the farm is gone now. That's happening sooooo much where we live. We used to have horses on many corners in our area, but they are mostly all gone now.

  Thank you so much everyone! This has always been one of my favorite shots. I printed a copy of several of the photos and gave them to the owner for letting me shoot. He loved the photos and now it will be a nice memory for him.
