Ani Trone Photography

This morning Petey the mini mule from the Stillwater Ranch stopped by for a visit and had Cimarron worked up’d and on alert, here are some quick shots of Cimarron on alert. I eventually caught the little culprit and put him in the dog run until he went back home. I love the shots of Cimarron rolling around on the ground

It was seriously a cold day, were actually breaking records this November with the cold weather were having. But needless to say, I still gotta ride – cold toes and all! So I rode down to one of my favorite spots and used my phone to snap this picture of Rain and me. Now some would think a 10 second timer would be long enough to run back and get a good pose, but with grass under a horses hooves it is tough to get there attention so I settled for just one, besides it was a lot warmer in the saddle.

Since Rick and I updated our ancient cell phones and become cool and techie with our new HTC Sprint phones I rarely miss moments because it so convenient to have a camera on my phone with me at all times. I know that the quality of the photos would be better if I was using my Nikon DSLR but I must say it is such a fun way to capture some nice moments and to share them with friend and family. Below are a few from yesterday and today.

Wild Wood Farm is located in beautiful Oak Harbor, WA where our friends and horse trainers Quinton and Danielle train some of the most beautiful horses for show and their clients. I could have stayed there for ever taking pictures, especially on such a beautiful day like today but the time was not allotted for…maybe next time.

Here are two quick shots that I took visiting today.

Taken with my HTC phone while doing pasture cleanup, I know…glamorous right?!

Evening at the Ranch!

The boys usually start acting up during the evening as I’m finishing up on my pasture chores, the running bucking and hi-jinks are always fun to watch but never easy to capture. Until tonight when they were not shy in front of the camera. Here is a little video I put together of Rain and Cimarron showing off their “moves like jagger”!

Walking the pasture cleaning up after a rainy night and turned to see this beautiful shot of Cimarron just outside the ray of light coming from the sky just falling before him. I’m still getting use to having a smart phone but I just love being able to take photos anytime I want. I found out that the HTC EVO 4G Android Phone (Sprint) can really handle some nice lighting situations, plus close ups but I did notice that with such harsh light coming down it did cause a little bit if distortion but none the less still love the capture anyways.
