We live in a rural setting. As I was driving to town I noticed a gentleman riding this horse on the side of the road. I stopped, told him I was a photography and asked if I could take their picture. "Sure!", he said. We talked while I snapped photos. It turns out he trains horses for others to ride in rodeos, mainly Barrel Racing. We exchanged phone numbers so I can see him training.
Very cool! Good for you for asking. I have been tempted a few times to ask people about taking photos, but I am very much an introvert and so far is has not happened.
Awesome Gary. I would not have the nerve to stop and ask to take the shot. I'd probably just have to shoot the backend as they walk away. This angle is so much better. :)
@novab Ha! Thank you, Nova! (By the way...is that your real name? I know you live in Nova Scotia and assume this is a "nom de plume".) With camera in hand, it is easier.
It would be so much fun to see him training! I hope to see photos of that too some time!
