During Christmas in France, Sabrina and Anthony took the challenge to go and photograph Chiara horse riding on a (tiny) pony. They did not know at the time it was a real photo assignment – and that their pictures would be commented afterwards.
They did do a pretty decent job, definitely good enough to spend the time doing a blog post – and the reportage-style is making the story easy to tell as well !
Sabrina was shooting with the Sony RX100 and Anthony with the Canon 5D Mark III (24-70mm 2.8) – good work !
Sony RX100 – 28mm f2.0 – ISO 125 – Preparation of the beast. Very good “action shot”, spot on framing and good capture of the moment. When you enjoy riding horses, you need to enjoy the whole experience … Chiara did not seem to mind.
Canon EOS 5D Mk III – 24-70mm f2.8 – ISO 200 – Good action shot as well, spot on framing and focus on Chiara’s head. The shot from the top is giving a very good perspective, shame it’s not very sharp. The photographer was tall, Chiara not tall enough to clean her tiny beast …
Canon EOS 5D Mk III – 24-70mm f2.8 – ISO 200 – Vertical portrait do not usually work – but in this case it does. Subject is well isolated, the picture is sharp and obviously Chiara is smiling. Picture was slightly cropped to remove a road sign on the right. This is the winner.
Canon EOS 5D Mk III – 24-70mm f2.8 – ISO 200 – Very good perspective, picture taken from the ground. If the pony could see this shot he would probably feel quite tall – for the first time in his life. Chiara was also surprised to find someone more stubborn than her, but she had to look for it outside of the human race.
