Horse Photo Gallery 4

This is a collection of recent horse photographs that don't fit into
the Arabian horse show collections. They were taken between
August 2000 and July 2001 in the UK and on a trip to the
USA. Some of these horses I know or have ridden too.

I must particulary thank the following for these pictures ;
All at Briggs Stables Hanover (MA USA), Cannock Chase trekking Centre (UK),
Sara and Lesley (for artistic inspiration), Carol and especially Eric. I hope you all enjoy them.

	Ibn Sbeyel. I took my digital camera with me when I revisited two 'old friends' I hadn't seen for 15 years ! The first being this Arabian stallion, called Ibn Sbeyel (Sonny to his friends) and second, his owner, Carol. I had ridden this guy as a five year old many years ago.I took this close up shot when he was eating, it was well worth the wait to line up this one, it's one of my favourite pictures of the day. 1/125 Sec, F5.6, 360mm
	Emrys, taken after returning to the stable. This is one of my first horse photo's using a digital camera ! I recently bought an Olympus C2100UZ digital camera which has zoom lens built in equivalent to 38-380mm on an SLR. I took it with me recently on a trip to the stables I often ride at. This one of Emrys (a Welsh Section D gelding) was taken after we arrived back from a ride. Taken at 1/60th sec, F3.5 at Cannock Chase Trekking Centre. I like the "painting" quality of this picture. The next two photographs were also taken with this camera whilst getting to know my way around it 8-)
	Autumn. Another photo with the Olympus C2100 camera, 1/400th sec, F3.5. A filly from Cannock Chase Trekking Centre. I used a long zoom to get this with a wide aperature for a narrow depth of field to null the background.
	Connor. Another of the young horses at the centre, again taken with the Olympus C2100 digital camera, F3.5, 1/320th sec.
	Brodie, taken before the Sheriffs Ride, Lichfield Staffordshire. Taken on ASA400 film, 60-300mm zoom lens, using a Chinon CE4. Brodie was being unloaded and led past me, and I only had a second or two to set up this shot. Camera in auto shutter, zoom at 60mm, F8.
	Sassafras and her rider. (USA) Taken on Kodak ASA400 film, 60-300mm zoom lens, using a Chinon CE4
	Prophet, after a roll in the paddock. (USA) Tricky exposure with the backlighting, but a +1 stop compensation was enough.Taken using Kodak ASA400 film, 60-300mm zoom lens, using a Chinon CE4. A very nice horse to ride, and as always he was good to me whilst I was there.
	Jordan. (USA) Taken using Kodak ASA400 film, 50mm lens on the Chinon CE4. Due to the low lighting levels I used the fixed 50mm to get the wide aperature (F2.2) I needed for the conditions. There was a "spotlight" effect due to the light through the doorway which I thought I could make use of here.
	One of a series of pictures taken of a group of fillies in a field at Brigg's stables, MA, USA Taken using Kodak ASA 400 film, 60-300mm zoom lens. These were also developed on Fuji paper in the USA at Bay State Color in Hanover MA. They did a first class job too ! I tried to make use of the soft lighting caused by nearby trees and the low, morning sunlight, I think it suited the subjects well ! I'm really pleased with this one, especially after I had it enlarged to 12"x8" by my local Jessops store.
	Sophie, taken before the Sheriffs Ride, Lichfield Staffordshire. Sophie was giving me one of those "you got carrots ?" looks 8-) I cropped this picture down a little to remove the person holding the horse next to her. It's this only picture on this set that has been cropped. Taken on ASA400 film, 60-300mm zoom lens at around 100mm with the Chinon CE4.
	Another of the series of pictures taken of a group of fillies in a field at Brigg's stables, MA USA. Taken using Kodak ASA 400 film, 60-300mm zoom lens. These were also developed on Fuji paper in the USA at Bay State Color in Hanover MA.
	A visit to the "Suffolk Downs" race track in Boston MA, USA (near Logan airport). Taken using Kodak ASA800 film, 60-300mm zoom lens, using a Chinon CE4.
