Paddock bound
The horses are led from the stable to the paddock for the day. Today and until Wednesday I will be in Cape Town. No blog posts for tomorrow and Wednesday. I do hope to have some time to take some pictures while I am in CT. PS. I know Kathryn, I know and I had my reasons [grin]

this really appeals to me Louis. Ultra high contrast silo's and a bucket load of mood. It's a likey. mal
Louis: Thanks mal and that's an honour
My kind of shot. Like it
Louis: Thanks you Sesan
This makes it look like the paddock is something heavenly. Like the light!
Louis: The paddock seems to be horse heaven - after eating their special in the stables the love going to the paddocks. Maybe because they can eat even more
Lovely! Great silhouettes, and wonderful light highlighting the detail on the floor. (:o)
Louis: Thanks for this comment Rosalyn. The floor detail is somewhat special for me too.
A very impressive B&W-pic: the silhouettes of the horses an men (combined in unity), the contrasts and the way into a new day, open and free for new experiences and adventures?, a pic of daily work and freedom! Nice the geometrical forms, too! A great photo, Louis!
Louis: Thank you Philine. The symetry is special for me too. I am glad you see the 'new day' experience in the picture.
Love it Louis
Louis: Thanks Aussie
I just love this shot with the lighting and the silhouttes! Great one, Louis.
Louis: Thanks for the comment Kathryn

Louis: Thank you PhotoSam - special to have a comment from the master

Louis: Thank you Richard
This is a coool capture love it in B&W very moody.

i love the light through the walls of the stable. not just bucket loads of mood here. great work louis
Louis: thanks nev. these plank walled stables make great shots - it does add atmorsphere.
A B&W works wonder here, Louis.
Hope you didn't step on one of horse's mines in your expensive shoes. Z
Louis: I step in it the all the time - it makes for a great aroma when I go home

I like the round body with the thin legs
I just have to agree with the rest on this one. Moody picture with great contrast. Itīs a likey
Louis: Thanks Magnum, it is an honour to hit your likey list
Great work with the contrasts and the details in the black areas... I really like the "natural framing"...
(Sorry for not visiting and commenting lately I have been busy with moving and other stuff... but now I will have the time to visit again...)
Louis: Thank you minelmio, we all get busy from time to time. I have been busy the last couple of days and only returned home at 00:30 this morning.
Bonjour,
Nice shot..Good effect of silhouette..bravo!
Louis: Ah bonjour mon ami. Merci pour le commentaire. I have to do something to improve my french - it was better many years ago.
I like the lighting and contrast. -mary beth
Louis: Thanks for the comment marybeth
Bonito contraluz
Louis: Gracias Miguel Angel
This is very nice, I like the contrast here, and the shapes, light, the mood.
Just so you don't forget that I can be a pain in...to the left 4/5 from the bottom there is a brighter part, I would like that darker, and the area over the horse could be all white imho. This comment is because I think this is a great pic Louis, I'm not trying to be difficult
Louis: Maybe you don't know it, but I love you for being straightforward. So I don't think you are difficult or a pain. I distinguish between your technical comments and the comments that reflects your personal taste - which is the honest opinion of a viewer. You have taught me to be careful with shadows and reflections, amongst others.
What I have done here was to convert to black and white, switch to negative, worked on that and switched back. I was surprised by the results. There is not a technical thing happening but you concentrate differently on the picture when working the negative. The white spot is the early morning sun shining into the stable and the stuff above the horse is a tree in the distance. personally I like the white area on the floor, but could have cloned the outlines of the tree away.
Well done, it gives a real atmosphere
Louis: Thank you Zebigleb
i like the framing of the door. nice one.
Louis: Thank you hbphotography
