The search of inspiration

I've been having one of my uninspired phases again, and today I was asked to take photos at the stable. The sun was shining (not so common in the autumn here), I had my camera with me and its battery was loaded so it was practically mandatory. 

In addition to the ordinary riding pictures, I tried to find some new angles and things to shoot also (for me, not in general), so here's the best I could come up with.

Pretti, the Little Miss Sunshine

I took my camera with me to the stable today. I arrived just before the sunset and the lighting was pretty awesome. Pretti got to be my model :)

From this angle she looks a lot like a mule. :P

I love how the beams of light are visible here.

This guy is not Pretti. I was zooming out to the last horse to get just one horse in with the sunset.

Sunny day out

Today was such a beautiful day that I took also my digital camera with me to the stable. Today was my last day at that particular stable and Pretti moves to a new home this weekend.

Something tells me that the spring is coming ;)

[not Pretti]

The sunset today was completely bright red. Unfortunately this photo doesn't convey it as well as I wished, but anyways. You get the idea. 

Beautiful day!

I was at the stable today and the weather was incredible! We went for a long walk with Pretti and I couldn't stop thinking about how I should have taken my camera with me (so typical, eh?). 

These were taken with my phone. 

The sunset was just so damn pretty I had to do something with it.

(This guy is one of the Finn horses that live in the stable)

It's funny how I didn't feel sick at all when I was at the stable (yesterday I could hardly make a sound and couldn't go to school or my riding lesson), but as soon as I came home I started coughing and sneezing again. Is there something in the city air or what?

P.S. I now have 29 readers! I'm thinking I should post something special when the 30th clicks the follow-button....I have absolutely no idea what that could be, though. Ideas? :)

Sunny day in Ikaalinen.

And photos I took on monday:

Sunset in Tampere.

So, I got the camera as a christmas present as I was guessing earlier and I've been taking long walks in the nature with it. I've been taking some beautiful winter-nature-pictures.

I'm addicted to National Geographic's website and the photographs there. I got a book of National Geographic's 100 best photos and I had to check out the website as well. I'm so inspired by all the amazing pictures of animals and nature. My pictures aren't anywhere near those but I'd like to travel and see and photograph more than just the forests in my home village.

So here I give you a few pictures I've taken these last couple of days.
