Week 33 – THE HORSE IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS

THE HORSE IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS

Hello everyone it was a bit of a strange week in that all seemed to go very well and then a seriously bad family news on Friday followed by a little bit of a strange and sad weekend, all seems to be OK at the moment  and before you know it I’m back at work. this weekend also See’s the sale of all my Sony camera gear as I head into a new venture now turning to Canon or Nikon, I haven’t quite made my mind up as yet but it’s looking a little more likely to be Canon? so with that in mind I am this week reverting to old stock photo’s and this offering comes straight from the horses ass and was taken from my visit to the West Midlands Safari Park. it’s an image I had seen done in a book called “Understanding Exposure” by Bryan Peterson and i liked it so I hope I have recreated just right with a little sharpening and tonal changes I truly believe this would look great on canvas. well onto the exciting week ahead as I still fumble around trying to decide what camera to purchase next, but at the same time I am very excited and hope to continue to bring you all great images in the coming months.my thoughts are with my Dad and his immediate family this weekend and I hope that he gets better soon best wishes to you all and thanks for returning, Jurgen.

    Liking, a good, bold image. What have you done to this processing wise? I do feel you could perhaps get a little more kick out of this shot, perhaps a little more contrast im not sure.

    Also guessing this is a zebra as apose to a horse?

    Hope your family member gets better soon!

    Like this a lot. Very graphic and yes it’s been done before – so what!
    Sorry to hear you’ve had bad news hope things sort themselves out soon.
    BTW I agree with MrC about the processing. Looks like it could have had a bit more white in the whites – the blacks look a little blocked up too in places.
