Taken with the lensbaby muse, I have had the muse for sometime now but never used it before. I still need lots of practice with it; as I was sitting by the window reading on the lil creation Tuki decided to jump up and stare out the window for me and I was able to capture this rather cute photo.

Taken with Nikon D90 and lensbaby muse.

I’m adding a second image to this post, this shot is another test with the Nikon Nikkor 55-300mm VR lens and my D90. Available light, 185mm 1/200sec at f /5.0 ISO 200.

Today I went to catch a couple Standardbreds for the Stillwater Ranch so Doc Hansen could get there vaccinations and coggins tests completed and while waiting for the good Doc to arrive I snapped a couple quick shots…it was the middle of the afternoon and right after a big rain so the flies were out and the light was just not right. Well I was only able to snap a quick few and these are some favorites of the day!

I was taking updated shots for the vet today and snapped a nice little accident of Cimarron. It was way overexposed but something about it I liked so I brought it into photoshop and messed around a little and came up with this…

I really liked how it turned out, his eyes are always so expressive.

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and shooting Trine and Gusto this past weekend. Their story and bond are unique and beautiful. Gusto is a 19 year old Warmblood that Trine has owned for 9 years, he has a degenerative disease but you would never have known it by witnessing the energy and spirit he has…

Trine wanted a very photojournalist approach to the shoot; just what I love doing…after all I am the ultimate “horse paparazzi”, so we got some shots of Gusto at play with his pasture buddies, Trine grooming him and then we went for some traditional portraits of the two of them.

Here are a couple of my favorites from the many wonderful photos from the Saturday.
