Some mates who have recently purchased a farm and converted it to race horse agistment and specialising in Acqua Walker strengthening asked me to do some shots in a hurry for their brochure so they can do some marketing at the upcoming "Magic Millions."

Here are four shots from the shoot - D3 and 14-24 - Comments Welcome.

Horse in Acqua Walker with Stables behind.


Riding Around the top paddock.


Leading horses out of the stables


This one is not for the brochure but is bound for upcoming sales.

Aqua is the correct spelling

Bob,

You can lead a horse to water ....

There's some interesting distortion in the first. To me, the image appears to have a slight lean to the right - look at the horizontals on the gate immediately in front of the horse. However, the bottom of the roofline (top left) seems to actually be leaning in the other direction.

Obviously shot with a wide angle lens, these will be artifacts of the lens's distortion imposed upon the image. This not a problem with the image, but merely an observation.

Apart from the spelling errors ....

I'm sure that that's a horse's behind.

Now that's what I need. An Aqua Walker!

i would have liked to see an image taken from down low, possibly in front of the horse in the aqua walker...go one, go and get your swimmers on !!

Bob, like them all but believe the first is perfect for the intended function, show the aqua walker in use with the stables name and details in the back, what more could a client ask for?

Thanks Guys


There is an aqua walker, a dry walker, stables and heaps of new fencing. Also a few cattle on the property.

The Graphic Artist will blue up the water a bit because of the horse shit discolouration and grass the centre area then I think that shot will be on the front cover.

Overall I deliverd them 15 shots to choose from which gives a good picture story of the operation.

I thought that was the other image, Bob.

We have now completed the work with the Graphic Artist and this is the final Result sent off to the Printer today

Looks great Bob, really flows well! Great work!

looks good Bob

Great stuff! Would be satisfying to see your work in print...

nice work

Great work Bob, just one question though about the colour choices. Have you received a printed proof?

The colours selected are very bright on screen as they ar back lit, with a print being reflection copy I'd be concerned as
to the legibility of the text and logos.

Terrific result Bob. Well done!

Preproduction Printed Copy looks fine.

The brochure looks very impressive. The photos tell the story very well.
