Comments on: equus http://kaiyen.com/blog/2009/01/12/equus/ Why have 10 blogs on specific topics when you can have just 1 with all kinds of random topics?

One was just the constraints of the situation - I had a specific lens on me, fixed focal length, so I couldn't zoom. But it's a very sharp lens and it forces me to look at things in very specific ways while I walk around. I did take a few in a portrait format. However, I really wanted to have the horse's back trailing off towards the side of the frame and yes, I wanted to accentuate the eyes. I don't think I would have rejected the option of a slightly wider lens, though. A couple of reasons.

I know for sure I would have turned the camera vertical and gotten his whole head in there. What made you decide to frame it the way you did? It makes the horse look much wiser by really emphasizing his eyes. I never would have taken this shot, but I like it!
