71.209.143.78He is a very nice looking stallion. Will certainly keep him in mind if I ever decide to breed again. - Thanks :)

67.142.130.11That is a very nice compliment to Sureyn...
Will see if he is stallion quality and can produce pretty with nice conformation and his great disposition... not necessarily in that order
- You never disappoint!!!

75.105.41.179I'm a long way from becoming another Vavra.. LOL.. but considering we only had about two hours, I just wanted the client (MJ) to be happy with them. He was nicely 'animated'... so in some respects, it helped.
We didn't have the facilities or the time to use the studio lights. .. but made due with what we had. - Well, I don't...

71.128.111.103...know Vavra, sounds like a new drug or something, lol, because I don't pay attention to other photographers. Just having fun and enjoying what presents itself to you and how you can play with it in your own unique "donalyn" way is what it's all about. NEVER make a negative comparison to yourself... ya hear me?!!! LOL
Your work is WONDERFUL. - sure you do...

71.128.111.103...follow other photographers other than in a passing interest if I come across them. I almost don't like to see what others are doing too much because I don't want to think of their stuff when I'm playing with mine.
Example...
Here's a photo I took this summer...
After having some fun with it...
Just use your imagination and see what comes forth. I'm usually surprised because I don't know what it's going to be till it just sort of emerges as I'm playing with it. - That's really cool!

71.128.111.103Thanks. I am sometimes too impatient for my own good. In our house, it's the husband who likes to read the map and ask directions. I usually just point and say let's go! - That is neat Sharon

67.142.130.22Did you do that using a mask or the opacity with an overlay?
I would love to do one of Sureyns like that... maybe a nice moving shot and then put his head to his body in an overlay... - Re: That is neat Sharon

71.128.111.103Couldn't tell ya. I just grab different. Sort of like having a box of pastels in front of you... a dab of this, a dab of that. That's what happens when you use a software without reading the manual. - LMBO...

67.142.130.22I remember doing something like that when I got my new Corel software... wanted to "use" it but did not want to read the book.
Ummm I did finally read the book and did the tutorials though
- WHAO.. that's Cool!
Posted by =d= on November 9, 2009, 4:06 pm, in reply to "I guess I don't... (pics)"
75.105.41.179I like that. .. I'd bet you could sell collections like that. .. You've already got a cafe express acct... put together a book and make them available!! .. I'm sure you've got enough shots for a book!! - Maybe...

Thanks, it's just fun, a lotta fun, to do. - Photos of a beautiful horse...

67.142.130.38He has such an intense eye... yet so gentle at the same time. It really shows "all" of him, he is all horse but so willing to give...
Yup, I agree with you he was quite the find.
Thanks Candi

67.142.130.38You and Don were so engaged in chatting about the breeze we darn near had to use a microphone just to get your attention that we needed your assist... and it was for easy stuff, we did the hard stuff. 
- Wow...

You do one awesome job
- I sort of liked that front corner...
Posted by =d= on November 9, 2009, 11:43 am, in reply to "Wow... "
75.105.41.179not so much as portrait shots.. but just because it was pretty in the late afternoon light .. especially with a grey horse in the scene. ..
There are more shots from this corner.. but I just wanted to give you an idea of how they looked.
I've got to stop messing with photos for awhile and get some work done. .. I'll do some more later.
- Love his tail in that one...

67.142.130.38for sure...
He is standing in that corner again right now, only he isn't as clean... LOL... He rolled, and rolled and rolled some more yesterday after you left.
Thanks again for coming out, so nice to see you and wow... the beautiful pics... Am looking forward to seeing more.
- Thanks ... here's one more portrait..
Posted by =d= on November 9, 2009, 12:01 pm, in reply to "That one is a calendar shot"
75.105.41.179.. before I get to work. LOL... one of the pasture (full sun) shots.
I'm glad you like them.
I like the detail that comes out with the better lighting of the full sun. - Ah, that's very nice, too!

67.142.130.38I am awestruck... and to think he belongs to me...
Thanks... it brings tears to my eyes to see him looking so nice... You did an awesome job Donalyn... thanks! ! ! - I meant to add...
Posted by =d= on November 9, 2009, 12:13 pm, in reply to "Stunning"
75.105.41.179that it's nice to work with a horse who is so expressive. I love his eyes! - Awww thanks

67.142.130.38He is a sweetheart to deal with... I definitely had pushed his limits yesterday though with the bath, grooming and taking him away from seeing his girls. Both Don and I were amazed at how well he took to being measured.
How is Ranger today? I got my thoughts focused on positive for him... - aww.. thanks . I'm glad you like them. nm

75.107.96.58We got the worlds problems straightend out. But mostly I was listening to him complain about you. I gave him some good advise though. You've had it now. - Am cracking up
