Monday Sept 30th

Cecille would take us on two more photo sessions, both in the marshes. The first was the morning of Sept 30th, the second was on Friday Oct 4th, but I will report on both now. The weather was completely different for the two sessions which gave us two very different kinds of images. The first session was fully overcast and a little misty, and the light was very flat. Pretty good grist for black and white but I'll keep these in color. We'll do some B&W in the last post for the trip.

The flat skies and calm winds gave us the opportunity to get some get some reflection shots. _8504844 (2) _8504906 (2)

But horses running through the marsh is we really wanted. _8505088 _8505125 (2) _8505133 _8505136 _8505170 _8505180 (2) _8505240 (2) _8505275 (2) _8505328 (2)

To finish off the session we tried a little Phancy Photography. Using a relatively slow shutter speed we tracked the rider as he rode across the field of view. This left everything but the horse and rider blurry. Fun.

I've learned from photographing the white horses in Missouri the potential of backlighting. This was a terrific opportunity.
