Camargue Horses
These Camargue horses
were running at me at top
speed when I took this
photo during one of my
Provence, France, workshops.
Here’s my analysis:
White: Each of the horses’
heads is separated. Again,
separating elements in our
photographs is important.
Green: The brightest part
of the scene isn’t overexposed.
I always expose
for the highlights to ensure
detail in bright areas.
I do that by checking my histogram and highlight alert.
Red: You probably guessed it: great gesture of the two
horses’ legs upfront.
L stands for shooting at a low angle to add a sense of
power to the horses.
SA stands for stop action. I used a shutter speed of 1/2500th
second to freeze the action.
SR stands for sky replacement. The sky in the original
photo was a dull blue, so I replaced it using Luminar 4
from Skylum Software.
