| Clementine- grade pony mare |
Our new house has something that has worked out spectacularly well for the hobby- an uncluttered and stunning backdrop for show and sales photos! I've blogged about it before, but I just can't get over this gorgeous countryside that we now live in.

| Hobbes- Hanoverian gelding |
You have already seen some summer and fall shots in previous blog entries, since it's snowed a bit this past week, let's show off some winter shots!
 |
| Zeva- grade horse mare |
The two mountains in the distance are about four miles away and are a part of the Green Mountain range. Across the street is a neighbor's field, this year the crop was soybeans.
 |
| Tabula Rasa- Appendix QH mare |
And the road just behind the fence is a fairly major north-south route for people going to and from work. Picture taking is carefully planned since I use a timer (I use a wide depth of field) or else I get a blurred-out neighbor's car going by...
 |
| Wild Plum- Miniature/Welsh cross mare |
Taking photos of dark models against light snow is a pain, but it can be done well.
 |
| Storm Phantom- Chincoteague mare |
And taking photos of lighter colored models is quite a bit less hair-loss inducing.
 |
| Levi- Grade stallion |
Although I did leave my alabaster and grey models inside for a later, indoor shoot.
 |
| Amazon Freckles- QH mare |
Old Amazon here has been photo showing since the late 1990s with the same photo, shot with a film camera, which was taken in our San Antonio, Texas backyard. As fond as I am of that photo, I decided the old girl deserved a bigger, clearer photo. (unfortunately the original's hard copy was lost or else I'd re-scan it)
That's all for now, until next time!

Nice photos! Isn't it refreshing to have a place you can use any time you like for a backdrop? That was my experience in college. I hope they earn you many ribbons!
Thanks! It is nice, and you can't beat a backdrop that's four miles deep. :)
