Day 3: More WPlus9

Posted on | May 31, 2010 | 10 Comments |

Having a great long weekend? The UK and US folks are enjoying a long weekend here. Today’s a UK bank holiday and also Memorial Day for the US. We didn’t do much besides cleaning, a little Cambridge outing, and me taking pics of horses. Yeah, I got a new gig… race horse picture taker. I know, right? Faaaar from children’s photography but my friend hooked me up with her friend and so off the girls, hubby and I went this a.m. Goodness, have you seen race horses up close? They’re just beautiful! We learned a lot about horse racing too. It was fun and educational despite the chilly day. The friend who introduced me to her friend said that who knows I might get into the racing community. Hmmm, I doubt that although I wouldn’t mind being the Shiekh of Dubai’s photographer (HA!!) — he’s got a stable near the one we were at. According to the news he’s got 700 race horses! WOW!!!

I do have a card too… it’s my last before WPlus9‘s release these sets tomorrow (you can check out the sets on Dawn’s blog now)!! For the design I used 2Sketeches4You’s sketch. Yes, it’s their sketch I used!! Something on top, three things in the middle and a strip on the bottom. Do you see it now? For the soil I used one of the cloud’s, pretty soil lookin’, no? The clouds I embossed. It was my heat gun’s first run here in the UK. It doesn’t mind the transformer although I thought it heated up a bit slow. I dunno, maybe it’s just me feeling things.

Ok, gotta go. Before I go, here’s one of the horse I took a photo of:

I should, next time, know the names of my clients. I mean I would if they were humans so what’s the difference, right? These horses are like children in boarding school. They don’t see their parents/owners. So the trainers wanted me to take photographs of them (running, hanging out, etc.) so that they can show the horses’ owners how they’ve been doing at “school”. This one in particular was a sniffer. So I thought it was appropriate to photographer her from the nose {::SMILE}.

First, let me say thank you to you and your family for the sacrifices that you make for our freedom.

Second, LOVE the horse picture! And I think that photographing the horses can and will lead to lots of other gigs. I do believe you should know their names, as well. Makes it more fun. And, if/when one of them wins something big, you’ll know you knew them “when”.
