Photos from the 2013 Sombrero Ranch Photo Workshop and Great American Horse Drive.
Save the dates and plan to join us in 2014! April 30th - May 4th.
The very very FAST start to the drive, the horses over took the trucks and galloped the first five miles. heart pounding excitement!
Our trucks coming into lunch, first day of the drive.
the herd galloping by the photographers during the ranch workshop.
What a great workshop! Thanks to all at Sombrero, Carien, Sherron, Scott & Mark.
What an amazing experience! I still havent even begun to process all the images. Here are a few from the first 2 days! Scott told this cowboy to be sure to get us wet!
Thanks to everyone who make this event such a great experience -- Carien, Scott, Mark from Nikon, all of the ranch hands and horses, and of course all of the other photographers who attended. I learned a lot, and have really enjoyed working my way through the photos...it will take a while! Probably my favorite photo shoot before the drive was the horses running through the water, this one is my favorite.
Here is another water picture - got most of the cowboys/cowgirls in one image!
Mark Kettenhofen from Nikon gave us a coaching session on light painting; I look forward to trying this technique again.
One of our most photogenic models -- future cowgirl on Horse Drive 2030! Her proud parents standing by, and the horse she is riding is 37.5 years old -- a Sombrero Ranch veteran.
We dodged a big storm during the week, but were treated to very pleasant, temperate weather and some amazing clouds -- here as a "big sky" backdrop to the Sombrero Ranch carriage.
