On the Range

This was a difficult scene mainly due to that damn horse! It’s mainly that I’m not used to using it so there’s a learning curve; it’s not all the horse’s fault. The saddle and the tack are so difficult to use though!!! Maybe there’s a trick to it that I have yet to learn? I don’t know, but after a lot of trial and even more error, I finally got the scene to look how I wanted it to. I once again asked my mom for nitpicking help to see what I originally had done wrong and needed to fix so if the details look right, it’s to her credit. By the way, despite my complaining, I do intend to use the Hivewire Horse along with the saddle and tack again as I have many more ideas. Hopefully with practice, I shall master this beast!

I rendered this scene in Poser 12 with Superfly and a slight depth of field. I used one bright point light as my “sun” and the skydome as an ambient light. I positioned the “sun” to shine in the scene where I would later put the sunflare so that the shadows would match up. In postwork, I used ON1 Effects to add the sunflare and enhance the image. I then did a little more fiddling in Photoshop before adding my watermark/logo. That’s it!
