Ferring a Horse
Ferring or shoeing a horse is a process performed by a farrier, a professional specializing in horse hoof care. Farriers also clean, shape, and balance a horse’s hooves and can help identify and treat hoof health problems.
Here are images from Churchill Downs of a farrier doing work. He starts by examining the hoof and pulls the nails.

Japanese Maple Bonsai
The majestic Japanese Maple is considered the king of Bonsai trees. Japanese maples are popular for bonsai due to their many benefits. Not only are Japanese maples beautiful to look at, including their unique leaf shape, but they are also relatively easy to maintain. They are drought and pest-resistant, and require minimal pruning.

Sunburst in Monochrome
A “Starburst” of “Sunburst” in photography refers to capturing the sun in your photo where you can actually see the sun’s rays in a star like shape. The sunburst effect is created from pointing your lens at a bright source of light such as the sun. As the light passes through the aperture blades of a lens, it renders the sun’s rays in a star like shape with points of light radiating out from the center.
Here is a monochrome version of a sunburst captured at around sunset on the river front in Washington, North Carolina

Flowers – Regal Pelargonium
The Regal Pelargonium has unmissable flowers that bloom in a trumpet shape. The flowers have six petals in bright purple, bright pink, pale pink, dark red, pillar box red or white. And the extravagance of the flowers is matched by the softness of the velvety leaves which also have a lovely scent. Captured in Santa Monica, California.

Silhouettes – Church at Sunset

Will be posting this week images with silhouettes. Here is a church silhouette against a vivid sunset sky.

In this image, the fan captured at a slow shutter speed creates soft, but orderly designs hinting of shape, form, and texture in monochrome
Design Photography – Circles of Art
What makes a striking photo? Often, it’s merely ordinary things composed in an ordinary manner. That’s because they always tend to have a single theme or idea, and because clutter is kept to a minimum. However, in this image, we are looking at the elements of design (line, shape, form, texture, pattern, and color) that turns a simple subject into an interesting photo.

Design Photography – Symmetrical Designs Overhead
Successful photos rely on order, and the main elements that bring and emphasize order in a composition are: line, shape, form, texture, pattern, and color. Every photograph, intentionally or not, contains one or more of these element, which are known as the elements of design.
Here is an image of pure symmetry (or order) …….
Monochrome – Light and Shadow Designs
Last week we posted images with the color red as the highlight in the photograph. This week we will post monochrome images.
Some of the best subjects for monochrome shots are those with lines and shapes, as well as interesting textures and patterns. Here is an image of the lobby of the Milwaukee Art Museum with light and shadow designs in monochrome.
