Not just a one trick pony lol

Changed the background to this shot as the stable he was poking his head out of was rather dreary and lacking interest.

[Ryewolf]

I really like this one almost looks like a painting rather than a photograph..

[Mitch]

My own mother accused me of photographing a painting when she seen this pic lol....Looked even more like a painting as a print. 

[Ryewolf]

I've tried phtographing hores a few times and I've found them hard to make them look interseting, and yours ticks all those boxes.

[Mitch]

This is how the pic started out

[Ryewolf]

It just makes it more impressive, I've got a few shots of horses and they all look like that - more or less... whether it's leaning out of stables or over fences.... except for the ones were I've just concentrated on their eyes

[Mitch]

I am with you all the way on that one, it took me about 3 days before I even decided what I wanted to do with this Image, and even then I think I had drank half a bottle of wine lol........ at this rate I will have a drink problem if it is the only way I can be creative LOL

LOLOL sorry but had to chuckle at the typo on this one lol

[Ryewolf]

it took me a while but finally got it.

 

Note to self: a/ Don't post after more than 3 glasses of wine. b/ Always check your spelling... c/ See rule a/

[Mitch]

LOL they say that great minds think alike and that fools seldom differ "hic" lol

[Mitch]

Still chuckling now when I read it...Sorry Ryewolf but was funny lol...will spare you the image  I had running thru my mind lol

[Ryewolf]

Yes, I can sorta imagine it... it was horses rather than anything else

[Mitch]

LMAO!!!! ....Okay, so moving on, have you tried changing the background to any of your horse shots? or even just trying a different editing technique?

[FUJI]

If anything, this post just proves how good Post Processing can MAKE a photograph, rather than it being just Taken.....a very creative but if fiddling Mitch.

Love it

I do this by blending textures and overlays into the background

 

 

[Mitch]

Thank you FUJI.......Thank you blackrox, I like what you are doing with the textures, do you do that just using photoshop or do you run a 3rd party program along side?

Hello, Mitch - I don't think we've been formally introduced, but what the hell.........

 

A nice bit of twiddling there - the addition of the texture has worked very well. I'm quite fond of using textures myself, but I usually go for the trial and error technique.

I'm with Korky with the trial and Error and can never visualize the finished image, I use lightroom & elements 13, I also use some Topaz filters.  I usually use French Kiss Textures, Overlays and Brushes

[Mitch]

Hiya Korky nice to meet you...... I couldn't agree more with yourself and blackrox, like with the image I did, I couldn't see the end result, just knew that the background needed changing so experimented with different textures and the like until I found one that I could work with and that I also liked.

This thread is getting to be really naughty!  After getting over the (w)hores, we're now onto French Kisses!  Where will it end?  ;-)

 

Love the horse pictures, both Mitch's and Balckrox. 

 

But I think Mitch missed a bit off his ;-)

Really good picture Mitch, it sometimes make sense to turn a snap shot into a picture with a bit of creative PP work,

I really like this Mitch ... I love  to use photograhs as another medium to   produce artistic creative images that blur the lines between  different  disciplines. I really like the lighting and tone that you have adapted  too  in your your finalrendition  to completely change the mood of the image altogether . Really nice job .... and of course Barbara is away with the Fairies  ( so to speak ... )  with the Unicorn  Hmm can't find the regular  smiley that winks at ya !

[Mitch]

Barbara am so sorry I thought I had replied to your comment, only looking now I can see I haven't. . . . French kiss Textures? lol you are going to have to explain that one lol

[Mitch]

Thank you Clicker and THELONGMAN....struggling with this new site....is there an idiot guide somewhere I can pretend to read and still be none the wiser?? :-)
