Been a while since I broke the camera out, so I took advantage of a mild January day to practice some more equine shots.  Thankfully had many willing participants.

A little trickier shooting these guys as they are bigger than the average subject, and with a rider, forget about getting everyone in frame.

Well, it’s been two months, but the only pictures I have taken have been a gymnastics meet I shot, and some of the kids at Christmas.  I still have to sort through the 10,000 or so pictures from from the meet, so I thought I’d post 3 of the kids in the meantime.
Happy Holidays!

I spent last weekend driving around the North Fork looking for some nice autumn colors.  I figured with some nice afternoon sun, there should be some good shots.   Well, it seems Mother Nature isn’t cooperating this fall as the colors seemed a little dull, and nothing really caught my eye.  So I decided to take some shots and inject my own color, or take some color away, as the case may have it.  (And of course, trying out a different slide show method.)

I liked a bunch of these shots, but now I am playing with exposure and colorizing.  I will keep adding and tweaking as I go, but I think I am happy with these 2.  For now…

A few more decent shots from the weekend, including a couple without animals and trying to get my Ansel on

Spent a day taking shots for a Breast Cancer Benefit ride. All the horses came decked out in pink to show their support. They didn’t want to give any interviews, but they did pose for some shots.

Never too late to donate either: http://wwwdev.clark5.net/breastcancerride.html

Still trying to find the best way to show images.  As with everything on the internet, there are many choices.  So here are some shots when I began getting ‘artsy’.

More testing with the site.

Getting away from the animals, and sadly I lost some of my best lightning shots, so this one will have to do.

Getting things running on this site.  You should, if you so desire, to log into my site using your Facebook login.  Go ahead try it.  Really, I want to see how it works.

Anyway, more old shots.  I should be to break away from the tech stuff and get behind the camera this week.

I always loved huskies and I found this one was roaming in the same park and decided to smile for me.  Wish he didn’t have the leash on though.
