Horse Camp Update

We have been busy with horse camp and really enjoy taking photos during the week. One of the highlights we look forward to each week is the last day of camp; not because it is the last day of camp; but because we love giving the complimentary photos to the students and parents and seeing their reactions. We thought it would be fun to share a couple of the photos we’ve taken this week. We hope you enjoy!

Horse Camp

It’s been fun taking photos at the Capricorn Equestrian Horse Camps. We thought we’d share a couple of random shots. Information on seeing all of the photos that are taken during horse camp can be obtained in the Capricorn office or by contacting us here at PhotoBlast.

Sharp Shot Color Pop Pro

     I’ve been meaning to build a few more example photos and thought that I would play around with some older photos. Today, I’m playing with the Sharp Shot Color Pop Pro action from EZ Actions. While many (dare I say MOST) of the people who use our Photoshop actions (which also work in Photoshop Elements) use them on portraits, some use the actions on other types of photos.

 

     I’m originally from the East Coast (Maryland / D.C.) and we took a trip to visit some relatives a few years ago. While out there, we visited the National Zoo – which I always love (you should visit if you ever get the chance – and it’s free). I snapped a few shots of some of the creatures at the zoo (which also included my family – LOL).

 

    Here, we see a photo of an otter (I just love otters, don’t you). It was nice to see the otters and the otter tank was positioned so that you could see the otters both above the water and below. The photo was shot through somewhat dirty glass and you as you can see, it has a bit of haze / glare. The photo isn’t bad, but look at the before and after and you can immediately see the benefit that the Sharp Shot Color Pop Pro action brings to the table. It takes a nice snap shot and turns it into something of a shot that you might see in a magazine or book.

     Over the coming days and weeks, I’ll post more examples using different editing techniques. I hope you enjoy the photos and will come back for another visit.

Family Photo Shoot

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of photographing a lovely family. We’ve got their proofs ready and are just waiting for them to be delivered. However, you can see some of the photos in this short video. I hope you enjoy watching.

 

 

 

 

Talk to you later,

Video Test

Here is a test of adding a video to the site…
These are some photos that I’ve taken at Capricorn Equestrian in Sachse, Texas. You’ll usually find me there on Tuesday nights and then again on Thursday or Saturday (and maybe even an occasional Sunday afternoon). We’ve been riding there for about a year now and we’ve really started progessing in our horseback riding. We look forward to learning more and may even one day own our own horses (but I want to learn as much as I can before that day gets here).  Anyways, enjoy the video…
