Treatment of Horses. - Work Diary.

Work Diary

In today's photography session, due to the weather being extremely nice, I decided to go outside and take a location shoot. My idea in this session was to mainly focus on how the treatment of horses are shown to be kept tamed but to also live like their wild selves in this confinment. I decided to show how their eyes shown emotion, to the way their own manes and fur was covered in mud, tangled and filth to the way they were actually contained. I believed that the positive outcome of this photo-shoot was on how I was able to get so close with the camera to mainly take photos of their eyes, this is a positive factor because then the audience are able to see the real emotion. The negative point of the shoot was the controlling of the angle of the camera and the sun flare, this was a negative factor due to the lens flares ruining the photograph and becoming a cause of distraction to the focus point. As an improvement point for my next photo-shoot on location, I will mainly focus on the camera angles, to not attract the flares again. 

My two selected photographs:







































In this first selected photograph, from a low angle, we can see a photograph of a horse looking down into the lens directly with it's nose tilted to the right hand side of the photograph. Another thing we can see in this photograph is the harness e.t.c, attaching the horse to the actual field in a public area. The positive point of this photograph, is that by using the low angle, the harness e.t.c can be really seen in their rough state and discoloured appearance against this young foal who is shown to be over curious and investigating, this is a positive factor, because it lets the audience focus on the finer details instead of looking at the whole picture in one go.  The negative point of this photograph is the houses in the background, behind the horses nose, this is a negative factor because it becomes a cause of distraction for the audience from the horses treatment. An improvement to this photograph I could make, would be to clone the sky over the actual houses.































In this photograph, we can see an extreme close up shot of a horses slightly closed eye. The white hair around the actual eye of the horse, creates the deep brown eye and black features to really contrast and stand out. The positive point of this photograph is that the colours of the eye contrast against the hair of the horse, this is a positive factor because it becomes the main focus point of the photograph for the audience. I believe that this photograph does not have a negative factor or improvement to reveal.

Further development:
For my further development, I would firstly like to select the second photograph for a computer experiment, in this computer experiment, I would personally like to place a reflection of wild horses running away in the pupil of it's eye.
