My get pushed challenge from Milla @mizzm - 'here is my challenge to you... To take a portrait that tells a story about that person. have fun :)'
I really do not like doing people photos of any kind. Godwin and Richie are the two grooms where I go horse riding. Godwin just loves the horses and is very protective towards them.
I'm from Tulbagh, Western Cape, South Africa. Tulbagh is a small farming community.
Get Pushed Challenge: I have been doing this challenge on and off...
@joemuli Lol, he was actually watching some others who rode with us today taking photos of one of the other horses! As I said he is very protective over the horses! :-)
Successful image for your get pushed challenge. Well done.
Okay, I'm your get pushed challenger this week. I would like you to try an ICM (intentional camera movement) image. Here are some samples to give you some ideas: http://365project.org/tags/icm Have fun!
Fabulous capture, Sally. I love the way both Godwin and the horse are looking in the same direction. Fabulous story line for your challenge. And totally love the clarity and overall focus. If I could fav a hundred times over, I would!
@adambralston Godwin looks after the horses, helps feeding them, grooming them and does some outrides with us. He has a very soft hand and is so gentle and calm with the horses. He is an absolute gem!
Just such a rich photo. The range of color in this photo is so deep. He looks so serious in this photo, Godwin. I think it is the same man in the alternate photo, carrying a saddle? There he is laughing. At any rate Sally, this photo reminds me of a National Geographic photo. I'm not entirely sure why, but it does. For me, that would be my dream to be that good.
@adambralston Thanks Adam! The other picture is not the same person. Godwin is not normally so serious. This was a chance capture, I turned around did a quick refocus and shot. The weather was horrid, raining and cold! I'm honoured that it reminds you of a National Geographic pic, a level one can only wish to reach!
