doubice Posted March 16, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, I have been a member of this fine forum for over three years. So far, I have limited myself to the other "non-photo" forums and due to my rather limited knowledge of post-processing techniques did not post any photos....... I hope to change that and here's my first attempt..... Photo taken with a Digilux 2 during a brief September (!!) snowfall in the Cariboo region of British Cloumbia.

Artichoke Posted March 17, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 17, 2007 despite (and perhaps because of) the rearward view I was drawn to the tracks in the snow behind the horse at first I thought these were from the horse but I suspect not it looks like you dismounted to take this I'd have a concern that the horse might trot off love the snow, though the thought of it occurring in September gives me a shiver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted March 17, 2007 Arthur, Those actually are the horse's tracks. I know that riding bareback is fun, but not for this old body..... Thanks for the comment! Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 20, 2007 Share #6 Posted March 20, 2007 Arthur - When horses are lethargic they very lightly drag the leading edges of their hooves, creating the pattern you see here. Jan - I'm glad you're posting photos and this one is a honey. Terrific angle, and the tracks help make the photo. It might need just a touch of punching up, which I'll try this evening if I have a chance. BTW: The best time to ride bareback is in the snow, with the warmth and softness of the horse coming up through your legs. Of course I remember that from when this old body was a young body.

pemayeux Posted March 20, 2007 Share #7 Posted March 20, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Glad you posted. This is a very nice shot. It makes me daydream that I am there out in the wild with the horse and the snow instead of stuck in my office looking at a ugly Texas cityscape.

kamilsukun Posted March 20, 2007 Share #8 Posted March 20, 2007 Jan, This is a very peaceful, very poetic photograph. It gives the feeling of being there. Thanks for sharing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share #9 Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks for the comments everybody! Stuart - next time I am up at the ranch and there is snow on the ground, I'll try bareback..... Have not done it in years, but your description of warmth and softness might take me back a few years! Cheers, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted March 21, 2007 Share #11 Posted March 21, 2007 Jan D, welcome to the civilised side of the forum:). Heh...good to see you venture in.

doubice Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share #12 Posted March 21, 2007 Jan - don't know if you'll like this version, but.... Stuart, I like it! It is interesting how the atmosphere of the day when the picture was taken influences one's perception. The day was dark and gloomy and that is why I metered for a slightly darker shot and left it that way. Now, a few months later I prefer the lighter version..........

doubice Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share #13 Posted March 21, 2007 ....Jan D, welcome to the civilised side of the forum:). Heh...good to see you venture in. I still dont understand how you get the beach sand so white where you are..... Rob, You should see how much whiter the sand gets in that part of the country in December! Seriously though - Vancouver is Canada's Mediterranian and its beaches are really as white as yours. In January and in June! Thanks for looking, Jan ......."welcome to the civilized side of the forum"....... Yes, it is rather sane here.....maybe I'll stay a while:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
