Pa, Ponies & Photoshop

The following pictures were taken yesterday during and after our ride up the mountain. We ran into Pa & Chris, my good friends and neighbors.

Stillwater Ranch Ponies

And this photo was taken after our ride of the Stillwater Ranch ponies!

I brought both pictures out of Lightroom and into Photoshop and dodged, burned, blurred and applied the tonal contrast filter from Nik Effects;  it was sorta cloudy and overcast so I think this really brings out the subjects in each photo.

4H Pony Riders

Went over to Barb and Dalton’s this evening to watch the kids from the 4H ride the ponies.

Barb and Dalton run The Stillwater Ranch, they offer their guided horseback trail rides service  here in Sultan, WA.

The sun kept creeping in and outta the clouds but I managed to get a couple good shots to share with everyone…

Would have liked to try some of my off camera flash work I’ve been practicing but didnt want to scare the ponies so all photos were taken in aperture priority with natural light.

Enjoy!

Yay, Ponies!

Took these for The Stillwater Ranch this evening.

My fave the Palomino, Rick’s fave, the paint…but I still love em all.

These little ponies are soo cute and adorable, wish I had ten of them myself!

Special cameo appearances by “Moon” the black mini and Tuki riding shotgun on the quad! :)
