Over the years, I’ve snapped many photos of eyeballs – horse eyes, to clarify.
I don’t know what is about their eyes, something soulful and deep that just draws me to them and makes me want to capture that moment with my camera.
This horse, Steve, was one my niece was training at the time. It was getting close to sunset when I snapped the photo. When I got home and blew it up on the computer, I could see the silhouette of the skyline in his eye. Thanks to Photoshop, I was able to enhance it. This remains my favorite, favorite eye.
This is our neighbor’s horse. He used to hang his head over our fence all the time. It was just starting to snow when I took this photo. You can see a few white specks clinging to his dirty face.
This was one I took when we were on vacation in Central Oregon. There’s a resort there that keeps several horses and we went out to see them one morning. The deer were wandering around at the time too.
This old fella was also at the resort. I didn’t get any fun reflections in his eye, but he was such a sweetheart.
This is a horse my niece was working with a few months ago. He was such a laid-back guy.
