Something Special


Here's another shot I took this last weekend, photoshoped up just a touch :) Depending on your monitor, it might look too dark, sorry if it does, can't control everything I guess! Cyndie

Window to the soul...






Here are my shots for the day, while hanging around at Hartman's Equine Center today, I had the opportunity to play a bit, and I got this shot in the afternoon light. This is "Bey Intuishahn E" an own son of Enzo. He is standing out at Hartman's, and to anyone looking to breed to an arabian, this is the most wonderful and gorgeous stallion! And the few foals I have seen so far are outstanding!

Keep an eye out here for some of his foals I am scheduled to shoot soon, and a full photo shoot of him also! I had to share...... This is the sire of the filly below :)

Artistic Effects

Here are a couple of shots I took yesterday, thank you to Michael and Lori from Hartman Equine Adventures for letting me play a bit, and Beth for setting it all up, your photos are up next :)!


This is a service I am now offering, I can come out and shoot in less than perfect conditions, and "fix" the backgrounds. There are endless artistic effects I can do to enhance your images. Here are three: You can click on the images to make them bigger.

The first is a simple fix for a cluttered background, and makes a dynamic portrait, I simply cleaned up the background by adding a white fog type vignette to the image. I also whitened the mane and tail. It's about a $25.00 digital work job.



The second was really fun, I burned the background a bit and added a zoom blur into the mares eyes and face. This adds a bit of motion and interest to this cool photo. Of course I also whitened the mane and tail, and enhanced her color a bit. Another $25.00 additional fee.



The third was fun, this photo was a great shot of the mare, but the background makes it an unsellable print, or does it? I have simply extracted her and now she is ready to drop into anything. Green trees, an out of focus pasture, an all white or black background? I also cleaned up the yellow cast in her haircoat and mane and tail. This is anywhere from a $45.00-$90.00 job per file.
