HDR is a process of taking multiple shots of the same thing and combining them to create an image with intense highs & lows. The resulting images are highly detailed, full of contrast & often surreal looking.

HDR has quickly become one of my favorite photography techniques & I’ve put together quite a few collections of amazing HDR photography.

Some of them are horse-related & others so amazing they just had to be shared.

Although simple in theory, HDR is not an easy technique to master, especially when the images are of moving, breathing animals. Cheers to these photographers with their great eyes and endless patience for getting the right shot.

There is a long list of horses in mythology and these tales come from all corners of the earth. It’s interesting to see that such a noble, beautiful animal is often portrayed as no-good.

Lately mythology has peaked my interest so I’ve been doing some research into how horses of mythology are given life. In doing that research I’ve collected quite a list from cultures worldwide and I’m attempting to look at each one in more detail.

The horses of mythology: a few of them you may know, a few of them you’ve never heard of and a few of them we should all steer clear of.

Before moving to Brooksville, FL and starting E.N.V.I., I taught and trained in Pinellas Park. Still new to the area, Mrs. Susan, now a beloved friend and client, decided to give me a try and hired me to find her “dream horse.”

Susan is an aspiring dressage rider who loves Arabians. She had very clear specifications. She wanted a calm, bay Arabian, who would be successful at dressage.

She also had personality specifications, as this would be her lifelong pet. What a challenge!

The horse is the 7th of 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, roughly equivalent to the Gemini sign of the western zodiac.

About the Horse

Horses are an active and energetic sign, they enjoy being out and about and do well in crowds.

Their pleasant and easy going nature makes them popular with their peers.

Generally healthy due to their positive and active outlook on life, freedom & independence are essential to the horse. A low boredom threshold means they act on impulse & can be unpredictable, although ironically enough they are quite good with money.

The past few years I’ve written a lot of posts about horses, and as I research and look for images I always stash good ones for later use. When I have extra time I sort through all of my saves and compile posts with specific themes.

This week I thought I’d put a few of these collections in one post for everyone’s viewing pleasure.

These posts encompass a interesting and unusual themes, from classic old photography to sidesaddle jumping to horses in urban situations, there is a goldmine of imagery here.

Perhaps my most popular post of all times was about the existence of the mythical unicorn. It’s got over 400 comments & they are really an entertaining read.

Since then I’ve written quite a few posts about this magnificent creature & I thought I’d put them all in one place for everyone to enjoy.

If you love unicorns, you’ve come to the right place. These posts cover the animal, its history, translations of the word unicorn & of course, plenty of unicorn art.

Chances are I’ll be adding to this page as I uncover more about the mythical unicorn and whether or not they actually exist.

Helios was the Greek Sun God and his job was to drove the sun from east to west in the sky on his four-horse chariot. Helios is closely identified with the mythology of Apollo.

It’s no secret that horses can be funny animals, they have the power to make us smile, giggle and even laugh until we cry.

Combine that with some great photography (and in some cases a little Photoshop) and you have images that are guaranteed to make you LOL.

It’s not just about the horses, horse people have a sense of humor too & it is reflected in many of these posts.

From unplanned dismounts to lolhorses to horse costumes there is plenty of funny horse to go around.
