Horse Eyeball Photos

Everyone likes to take photos of horse eyeballs and we are no exception. They are fun, challenging and rewarding!




Here are just a few important things to know about taking effective horse eyeball photos.

• Details matter - make sure the eyeball is clean, this means no goop or tears. No burs in the forelock or mane. Watch out for misplaced hairs. No dust or mud on horse.
  
• No halters or bridles - keep the photo clean and simple.
• Shoot in good light - Take photos in early morning or late afternoon when the light is low and soft
• Focus needs to be sharp and in the right place, the eyeball has to be sharp.
  
• No dead center compositions, these are usually static and boring.
• Watch your backgrounds, shooting at an angle that includes their mane and/or neck always works great.
  
• Shoot at eye level, if you are shooting a pony, get down on your knees if you have to.
