I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to top that photo...and I didn't...but what fun would it be if I didn't try~~
Years ago I found this old medicine cabinet door with the beveled mirror...I've had it hanging in every barn isle ever since. It's interesting to see the reactions of horses who see themselves for the first time ;~) So, Colt got to be the model.
I liked this photo because of the double reflection in the beveled edge. Colt's eye and his
breast collar are reflected in the bevel.
breast collar are reflected in the bevel.
The second photo I chose, included Colt's right sidein the camera shot along with the mirror. I liked how
his forelock is half covering his eye. But,
I couldn't get him to perk his ears up
for the life of me!
My header photo is of Riddle Mountain reflected in Dry Lake on a drive out to the Pete French Round Barn last November. It was one of those moments when you slam on the brakes and get out to take a photo...I can't remember when I've ever done that before...I guess the blogging bug has totally taken over me!
To see more "reflections" photos...visit Sunday Stills!
I just found your blog via TrainWreck...
ReplyDeleteI love it! Oregon is gorgeous... I am so jealous of you! Your header photos is beautiful... Makes me want to meditate. Lol!

Great shots for this week's challenge!! I have always LOVED your header photo!! And Colt's reflections are wonderful, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI used a mirror shot too. Ever since I started blogging I've taken more photos than I have in my life!
ReplyDeleteYour header photo is great but the one with Colt looking in the mirrior is wonderful! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAll the pics are great. I had to really think about this one. You did awesome.
ReplyDeleteMost excellent pics my friend, one of my pics this week was from your state... :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the mirrors pics!
ReplyDeleteBoth are great, but the second one is my fave. I like the continuing perspective from behind him on into the mirror.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Steve Holt! needs a mirror like that, he'd be jealous of Colt!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics!! Colt is certainly a willing model. Do love your header picture too. My husband gets so crazy when I yell, stop the car, so that I can take a picture. Now when I get in the car with the camera bag he just sighs :)
ReplyDeleteYou can see mine on my photo blog.
Both pics are great (header and the ones in this post.) The pic with the mirror in the barn is SO creative! I love that you got that mirror too, it has such character, most people wouln't think of putting it in a barn! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, that is certainly a gorgeous frame in the header pic!
ReplyDeleteAnd you really captured a cool reflection with your dark beatuty of a horse!
I catch my mare at the end of the arena with the mirror and more often, at the viewing windows...peering at herself!

What a great header! Love the second pic of Colt--what an expression!
ReplyDeleteWhat a vain horse you have there. I mirror just for him? Great idea........the reflection in the mirror:)
ReplyDeleteLovely post - Colt is a great model :)
ReplyDeleteI have always loved your header photo too though.
That first photo is amazing! The colors work together so nicely, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your reflections! You did good! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the second photo!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog I grew up in Oregon as well but now my husband and I work on a large cattle ranch in Mo. I really miss Oregon and eastern Or. has always been my favorite

What a fun challenge. And I love your header photo too! I would love to go trail riding there. Some day......
ReplyDeleteI love both of those pics!
ReplyDeleteLOL...yup, trying to get them to look photogenic is like working with children :)
ReplyDeleteIn that top photo, Colt looks a little embarassed about not getting prettied up enough for a photo. hehe
ReplyDeleteHe is a cutie, though. And that's a charming mirror. I think it's brilliant of you keeping it in your barn, too.
Great shots...especially your header photo.
And ya know what they say, if you don't blog a out it....it never happened.
