Description

This is a herd of horses on Assateague Island in Maryland. It was the middle of the day with the sun straight above them.

The ponies that live there frequently head to the beach during the hottest part of the day to escape the bugs that plague them during the warmer months. With the breeze on the beach, they can rest without the constant stomping and biting of the flies.

The most challenging thing when photographing them on the beach is getting a good angle so there are not a whole bunch of people also in the photo! If I am following a herd that walks onto the beach, I generally have to back off and simply wait my turn for a few minutes while the tourists run up to take their cell phone photos.

*Artist's Note* For this image, I suggest FAA's Luster Photo Paper or Acrylic Print for the most vibrant print. However, this image is beautiful and long-lasting with your choice of Fine Art America's premium finishes.
