I love getting a perfect shot of an animal (or anything else) in-camera, but after that my mind quickly goes to the artistic possibilities involving Photoshop. I've been that way since the beginning of my career. For so many years, photographers were limited to techniques in the darkroom to add artistry to their photographs, but now the sky is the limit. Pretty much anything you can imagine can be done digitally. It's a very exciting time to be a photographer. With this rearing horse I photographed on one of my photo tours to capture the beautiful white horses of the Camargue in southern France, I made a careful selection around it with the pen tool (working at 400%) and then added a stormy sky and a reflection using the plug-in Flood (made by flamingpear.com). The next tour I'm doing to the Camargue is in April, 2018.
