I spent much of the other day taking show photos of some of my stablemates.
I still need to name half of them before they can go up on flickr though.
I used my mini desert diorama (which I'm really hoping to sell at some point as I don't use it enough and I'd love to see how it does in live shows with someone!) and a royalty free photo of monument valley I found online for the background and afterwards thought I'd let the tiniest members of my herd have a go with it...
They aren't really kitted out for western riding but that can't really be helped, (although I'd really like to see if there are some HO scale cowboy figures somewhere!) but some instagram filters give them a nice 'old west' kind of feel and help make it look less like a diorama and more like an actual landscape.
Beautiful setup, Sarah Rose's Nevada and Poquito would look especially nice in a backdrop like this. :)
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with GWR, a "Beautiful Setup" Christine! I especially like the black and white photo as it reminds me of a print that my great grandmother used to have on her wall, that of a Native Indian on his pony perched at the edge of cliff over-looking the desert.
ReplyDeleteThere is something really grand being surrounded with all of that "empty" space and you have certainly captured it in your photos of tiny ponies. :))
