Breeze

Hello! hope you guys have had a great start to the new year! on my break I went out to visit my sister, and she showed me some of her new horses. She is in the picture with her new horse Breeze. The picure above shows one of the 3 photography rules or lines. #1 Rule of thirds #2 Spiral and #3 Golden triangle. I have talked about the Rule of thirds before so this time I will talk about The Golden Triangle. Naturally some pictures are more appealing than other pictures than others, most people would say its color and content, which is true but it is also about where you place your subjects in your photos. the 3 lined rules are 3 main designs that the human brain is attracted to. the first picture uses the horses neck to bring you across the picture and the positioning of where Tasha is standing brings your to her face. and Breezes nose makes the other triangle for the other 90 degrees, and its not going to be exactly 90 degrees or a perfect closed triangle its being close that counts. one of the only things I don't like about this picture is the distracting other horse behind her nose.
  Her horses being failrly young had a great curiosity of what I was doing and it was very exciting and challenging at the same time to get a  picture. first of all because they would stand so close to you and there is only some many nose pictures you can get before they fog the camera with there breath. It very quickly gives you an opportunity to take a picture of their eyes and I think I succeeded in getting her curious glossy eyes. also you will notice the last picture you can see the horses breath. I like the Idea of that picture more than anything. although I deerly wish I could improve it. If I could I would walk towards the right creating a more full body horse because I think from the angle I took it she looks more tubby than what I would like. and get my self lower to the ground to get better framing with less snow, and maybe try and place the sun behind the horses back to create for a more shiny glow. but if you are to know one thing about horses you have to be patient because they always will continue to move.
