Part 1. 

The Frame.

Object in different positions in the frame.

Equipment: Olympus E3.  14-54 lens.

Location: Wetland area to the north of Deal.

The wetland area has a number of free roaming horses grazing on it.  My aim was to place one of these horses in its environment.  The first job was to isolate one horse and the second was to exclude a railway embankment, with its attendant fence, that runs down one side of the field.  The air of desolation is added to with the sight of Richborough Power Station peeking up above the tree line.

I took about twenty shots of the horse.  Some further away and some much closer.  Other shots included the other horses, and some the railway embankment.  I had the horse low in the frame and high in the frame, as well as to the left looking out of frame, and bang in the centre.

Although not the best photograph I have ever taken I hope that, by having the horse to the right of centre and looking in to the empty space on the left of shot, it hints at both the desolation of the area and the wildness of the horse.
