Photographing Wild Horses in Utah’s West Desert – Late May

Posted on by

I’m often asked if I ever get tired of photographing this herd of Wild Horses. The simple answer is N E V E R! Every trip is different. Different lighting, different foregrounds, different backgrounds, the horses have different attitudes. This trip was all about dark skies and rich lighting.

A few posts ago (the one with a lot of dust and wind) I felt that many of the photographs looked better in that very warm sepia tone. Another post a few weeks ago it didn’t feel like many of the photographs looked better in any form of black and white. On this trip to the Onaqui, even as I was taking some photographs, I said to myself, “this scene is meant to be in black and white”. I tried several of these scenes in the warm sepia tone but it just wasn’t what I saw in my mind’s eye. I saw dark, dramatic skies in a deep selenium tone. I hope you agree…

  1. I think you achieve a level of art thats up there with the best. As a musician i try to ontain what i hear in my head but as the process goes on in the recording something new emerges so I just follow the moment where that song wants to go.

  2. Yes! Stunning in black and white. So dramatic. Fine work on all the pics, as usual.

  3. Selenium tone is perfect for this! The skies are gorgeous and the horses amazing. So glad you never get tired of this!
