Our Horse Sebastian
Summer of 2008 at Wildwood Farm |
|
|
|
 |
June 27, 2008
Sebastian free lunging in the outdoor arena.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
We are using Sebastian as the subject to take some test shots with our new camera.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
The camera can capture Sebastian even in super fast motion!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
We also attached a 250 mm zoom lens so we can capture these close ups photos.
He doesn't even look like he is in super fast speed!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sebastian is so cute in closeups!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
These shots focus on the subject and blur out the background.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
So cool!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Love how he ducks his head down and pulls his hooves way up when he gallops for fun!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
You can see the whiskers under his chiny chin chin!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sebastian is so beautiful! What a portrait!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
I absolutely love the angle of this shot!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
And this one too, you can't even tell that he is in full gallop here!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
He's tired now, wow look at those nostrils!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha cools him down under saddle.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
I just can't get enough of these closeups!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
I directed Sasha's mom to take this shot.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
These shots are more scenic. I love the misty backdrop.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
You can't really even tell it's Gretchen's farm.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Under the canopy of trees.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Love the look on Sasha's face her mom captured in this shot.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha gave him a bath and braided his tail.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
On their way back to his paddock.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sebastian and Rascal.
|
|
|
|
|
It's bound to be a great summer! |
|
|
|
 |
|
Molly agrees to be the model for our "Cinderella and her horse" shoot.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
It's not easy being on one of these shoots, especially in a long gown and tiara!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
But she was a real good sport and we got lots of great shots!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
She is a real nice contrast to Sasha and the horse.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha helped out alot as the groom and photographer, she was just glad someone else had to dress up instead of her!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sasha bought Sebastian a new summer fly/show sheet.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
He looks so handsome in it!

His beautiful profile
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
He really loves this!
|

Galloping around the arena!

Sebastian

|
Afterwards, we go into the barn together.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
I groom all that dirt off him.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
He's a good boy while I groom.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
We ride down to Muddy Pond.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
It's a nice day but too many flies biting us!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
We take a few photos...
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Then I get off and walk around.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
It's a nice ride down here, no traffic.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
We're looking for good shots.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Then we switch and I take pictures and Sasha's mom rides him home.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
We try to get good backgrounds too.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
And cute or funny facial expressions!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
She has her hair in a bun!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
There's a nice smile!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
The foot path has really grown in!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Sebastian walks right over the tall grassy path.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
She rides him down the road and back to the barn.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Go Ponytail!
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Oops! I guess it came out~
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
There she goes, up the hill to the farm.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
On the farm, they are cutting the hay today!
