day three and a half

Hope is changing by the minute. She is a very happy curious filly!

After processing photos from the first turn out day, I realized I was not completely freezing the action. Harder to do indoors, without flash. I changed some camera settings, including the light setting. I love warm hues, but cooler hues are more realistic indoors. The beauty of shooting on Manual mode is I can go back and change most everything! Except a bad photo is still a bad photo. Of course I left those out and a whole bunch of good ones too.

Enjoy these select photos, along with and a few video's that I think will make you smile!

Hope (4/13/23)

Brad was sitting on the equine ball and got a couple funny videos from a lower perspective. They are a little long, but the ending is worth it. The first video is one of our favorites. Except for the darn Tide pod commercial playing in the background! Side note: Brad is sitting under a speaker, where the sound is louder.

Cierra was more relaxed on the second day of turnout. However, the filly was more active!

endless zoomies

Turnout isn't all about stretching out legs. It is also about discovery.

what is this?

Yes, the ball needs air. Always. We only fill it up right before use (sitting on it doesn't count lol).

pockets of light are still a mystery
