Progress!!

     So I have been very productive this week :D.  I went over to a friend's barn on Thursday and took pictures of her jumping and doing some flat work. Thank you sooo much Nicole!!!!!! I absolutely love some of the pictures I got and have already started to edit some of them. Polo co-ed regionals are also on this weekend so I have been at the barn taking tons of pictures, I hope they turn out well! Congrats to Cedar Valley for winning regionals! Good luck at nationals!


Here are some of my favorite pictures from break. I have a total of 44 photos that I like a lot so far. I haven't looked at the ones from today yet. These are the ones that will definitely be going into my portfolio.

  














The picture above is probably my favorite picture I have taken to date. I love the contrast and the movement in this picture.
     I like the picture on the left as well because the sense of movement is there as well as the action of polo.




This was taken at a friend's barn. She was jumping in a lesson and invited me to come up an photograph it. I like the different angle this was taken at.








This is Blondie. She was recently bought and is just starting to get the hang of jumping. She has the cutest little face that is so expressive. She definitely jumps her heart out.


This is Chris, he plays on the open Cornell Interscholastic team. I like this one because it shows how open the arena is and it shows a good bump.









I really like this picture because it shows all three pairs coming at the camera. This is exactly what I love about polo.

I just love this shot because I think it really shows how flexible and agile polo horses are. I also think that there is a certain grace about polo ponies that really comes through in this photo.











I love the bunching of muscle on this horse. I think it shows the strength of horses really well.










So, there it is. I will have more to put up soon. Please leave comments on your opinions.

  1. Hey Jenny, great pictures. I really like the ones where you've cropped off the rider's head. It really puts the focus on the horse/pony and what it is doing as opposed to what the rider is doing. Some of your polo shots really show the chaos of the sport!
