Wild Horse Photographs – For Metal Prints

Posted on December 12, 2017December 12, 2017 by ghuggins

I had a few customers contact me asking what photographs I would recommend to them to have printed on metal. In my opinion most of my wild horse photographs print best on either lustre paper, or even better, on canvas. The photographs printed on metal that I have had printed were ones that had a lot of saturation and had a lot of dark colors with a lot of contrast in the image. So, I created five (thus far) photographs that I think will look really good printed on metal. I have one ordered for a close friend, but it has not arrived yet. These are the five photographs that I have completed, specifically with the thought of being printed on metal.

Onaqui Herd at Sunset – 24 Nov – Second Batch of Photographs

Posted on November 28, 2017November 28, 2017 by ghuggins

I have finished processing all of the images I shot on the 24th of November. Every trip is different. The theme of this trip seemed to be photographing the herd at sunset. Doesn’t happen often, but when it does, one is amazed at the warm colors and beauty of the horses. Here is the final batch of images from that day.

Onaqui Wild Horses – Sept 14

Posted on October 26, 2017October 26, 2017 by ghuggins

Finally getting around to processing photographs taken on Sept 14 of the Onaqui herd of wild horses in Utah’s West Desert. Hard finding horses, poor setting etc. I found myself “seeing” in black and white most of the afternoon.

Photographs of Various Storms in Utah’s West Desert

Posted on September 17, 2017September 17, 2017 by ghuggins

This post is a collection of the various thunderstorms I have photographed in Utah’s West Desert. I make it a point to get out and photograph the Onaqui Herd of wild horses whenever I can, especially if there is a chance of thunderstorms. It has been rare to get great lightning, but the sunsets are absolutely spectacular even if the lightning is a rarity. The photographs that are long (panoramic) were taken by stitching between 10 and 15 separate, overlapped images into one image. The file sizes are enormous, as I stitch RAW files from my Nikon D810. For example, the panoramic of the double rainbow is 21,700 X 7200 pixels! All files are significantly downsized (1800 X 1800 pixels, at 72 dpi) for posting. I have printed these panoramas 24″ X 72″ and you can’s spot any pixels at all.

Photography of Wild Horses – Onaqui Herd Aug 8

Posted on August 10, 2017August 10, 2017 by ghuggins

We had another great trip photographing wild horses in Utah’s West Desert. The Onaqui herd is unique in that if you are mindful of their demeanor, you can walk right through the herd and get very close-up, intimate photographs of these magnificent creatures.

I haven’t had much time to process the approximately 2,000 photographs I shot, but here are a few of those that I have processed thus far. The photograph of the two red stallions on the run is a combination of the photograph I shot and a process that makes the photograph look like an oil painting. It has a more “contemporary” look but still has details that would appear in a photograph.

Wild Horse Photography – July 27 Onaqui Herd

Posted on August 1, 2017August 1, 2017 by ghuggins

Another trip to the West Desert to photograph this magnificent herd of wild horses. The herd was hard to find, and it was much smaller than usual. I desperately hope the BLM hasn’t rounded up this herd.

Those horses that did come to the watering hole were few in number. Not a lot of fighting, but enough to keep you on your toes. The sunset was spectacular (as they always are in the West Desert). The small family band that is running to the watering hole is new to me. I don’t think I have photographed them before. I will have to go back and see if I have.
