These photos are stunningly magical! I went to Iceland in 2017 on a landscape photography tour. We saw some horses but nothing like this. I would have been smiling from ear to ear ap the time if I'd had this experience. It is truly a beautiful beautiful country
Thank you so much! It's a magical place, as you know. 😁 And yes, the smile was easily ear-to-ear! How blessed we are to have experienced it.
That is so cool! I want to take pictures like you one day!
Aww - thank you! ☺
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
You're welcome - glad it was helpful! 😊
wow! cool
Fantastic tips - liability insurance a top idea. 👌
I loved the shots of legacy and puzzle ‘sparring’, it’s so interesting to watch them.
Nicely done! So informative! Really enjoying your WINGS MENTORSHIP COURSE... Jan-Mar 2024.
I would love to join wings! That sounds amazing.
You should! Make sure you're on the waiting list of next year! www.shelleypaulsoneducation.com/pages/wings-mentorship
Great tips. I also use the bright sunlight reflection bouncing on the water for the bright part. More of a white/yellowish light which doesn't look as good as the Orange/red in your examples shown here but will get it done. Also gives all those Bokeh circles too!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
What lens do you use?
Primarily the Canon 70-200 2.8 lens.
Awesome, Shelley! Beautiful shots you got in Iceland. I've been once but it was a whiteout in March. Here in Michigan I shoot for a stable of Icelandic therapy horses and I just love them. Unlike larger horses like Arabians and other thoroughbred race horses, the Icelandics are so chill and mostly not divas. They also seem to know when they're on camera and I love how they (seem to) kick their strutting and prancing and vamping up a notch whenever they hear my shutter. Love your channel! Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much! I would love to get back to Iceland in the winter - I want those frosty horses and northern lights!
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much!
hi, I love your work! Your videos have been very helpful, thank you :) I want to upgrade my camera from 5D mark III to the R5 or R6 mark II... I'm leaning towards the R5, but I'm mostly scared of overheating issues. I live in Poland, so it can be hot in the summer... I'm not a professional, I do stills and photograph at horse shows and I'd love to shoot some video (similar type to this one!). Are you still happy with tge R5? Have you run into the overheating issues?
Hi Katina! Overheating is certainly an issue if you are taking a lot of photos in a warm environment, especially in direct sun. Other than that, I'm a HUGE fan of the R5! There is an update due in the next year - the R5 mk 2. I am guessing they will resolve the overheating issue with that new body.
thank you so much!@@shelleypaulsonphotography
Hi Shelley, I've loved your work and have been an admirer since I watched you printing some of your work at class we took together in Chicago by David WIlliams (many many moons ago). I have recently began photographing horses and find your channel and Instagram very helpful! Looking forward to more videos! All the Best!
It's so nice to hear from you - wow, that was many moons ago! I hope you find equine photography fun - let me know if there's anything further I can do to help! 😁
@@shelleypaulsonphotography Thank you so.much! I'm learning so much from you!
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
oh my heart <3 the hug
4 years ago man I’m super late for the discount!!!!!
Incredible, Shelly! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. You make it so easy to follow and understand.
You are so welcome! I'll need to do another soon as Photoshop is adding new, amazing tools all the time!
Phenomenal work, as always!
Thank you, Sarah! ❤️
Love any and all content you make!
Thank you, Amy! ❤️
What a fabulous photography documentary! I can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😁
So awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I recognize the photo on your wall from our New Mexico wild horse excursion! Hope you’re doing well!
Yes, it's always been a favorite! You have an eagle eye!
Super cool. Thank you a lot!😊
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for this video, so nice made. Why do everynody want the black background?
I think because it's a classic, clean, fine art look.
Love this. So helpful. I'm just starting my equine photography journey...at age 65! More of these please! Thank you!
Will do!
What software are you using to edit the pictures on the computer?!?!
Adobe Lightroom 😊
Thanks for all your expertise on these settings. My question is... do you use auto ISO or do you always set your ISO manually. Thank you!
I don't use Auto ISO because I want to fully control my exposure. 😊
Great tutorials ! Can I ask what was the preset you used?
Thank you! I have my own that I've developed over many years. 😊
WE LOVE THEM SO MUCH GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Thank you so much!!
😭😭😭
You’re an excellent teacher!
Oh! Thank you so much! ❤
Shelly this is gorgeous! I recently upgraded from the 5D Mark III to the R5, the video is amazing on it. Do you find that the focus tracking on animal mode has been helpful? Or did you not use that for this video here and just Servo AI?
Hi Majken! I don't remember how I focused for this one, but I can tell you that focus tracking with horses is a hit or miss. I've been finding using a broader focus area (such as Large Zone AF: Vertical) gives me more consistent results, especially if objects come between myself and the subject. 😊
@@shelleypaulsonphotography Thank you so much Shelley! A bummer that it is hit or miss on animal tracking mode but still a lovely camera! <3
Where the last shots taken at f32.8? Thanks.
Oops! That should have read 2.8. 😉
@@shelleypaulsonphotography Thank you for the helpful response and very useful video with posted camera settings. Very nice.
I LOVE all of your videos, comments, and images... This was a wonderful example of Shelley @ work!
Thank you so much! You are so kind to me, Nancy! ❤️
Thank b6jgf
I know how much work goes into making a video like this, and you've done a wonderful job. Please stay with it, the content is superior to most that I view on KZread. Thank you and Bravo!! Merry Christmas...
Wow, thank you! That means a lot to me!
Interesting point regarding the 85mm prime Shelley. Shooting wide open in low light with lower ISO with that lens looks like a new era with the R5 and large MP-size images. Looks like we will be able to shoot from further back and crop in because there are plenty of pixels to play with. A lot of great practical tech comments particular to horses. Something I'll be getting into as a new genre. Thanks for the concise intro. We are always keen to get to the content quickly. Cheers mate - new subscriber from down under here. PS I'm waiting for the rumored R5 Mark II next year.
The R5 has certainly changed the game for me! If the rumored specs of the R5 II are true, I'll be trading one of my R5s for the new one! Enjoy getting to know equine photography - I'm glad we connected from such a distance!
thank you so much! I needed this so much<3 love your photos!
You are so welcome! And thank you! 😁
Awesome behind the lens footage/images. Glorious. Thank you ❤️
Thank you! I've had some really beautiful shoots the past few winters - it's fun to share!
@@shelleypaulsonphotography Thank you Shelley ❤️
It's a good idea, I think they're Swedish, it's very cold there, good video
Yes, they are! You can tell they have real world experience with COLD winters!
Thanks for the glove review…. I’ve been looking for a new pair!
Glad I could help! I'm so happy to have finally found ones that work and hope others enjoy them too!

Hello congratulations for your work, you use the Canon R5 with shutter electronic? if so there are rolling shuter problems with this camera. Thank you
I have only noticed it while photographing high action where there are obvious lines (like fences or jumps) but that's very rare. I did talk about it in a review video for the R5: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q5d2m9uDmZTWfKQ.html
@@shelleypaulsonphotography Thank you very much
@@shelleypaulsonphotography I have bought my daughter the R6 MkII for Christmas, she is also a horse photographer, and a collaborator of Katarzyna OM in the organization of several tours in Spain with PRE horses, if one day you want to come to Spain do not hesitate to contact me Thank you
@@sonax48 She's going to love that R6 Mk II! It has horse eye autofocus (which I hope Canon will add on it's "older" models now). And thank you for the offer, I'm going to save your information in case that comes up. I would love it!
That's just beautiful!!
Thank you!
For video are you using a drone here?
No, the Canon R5. :)
Great video. Stuck to the topic and easy to understand
Thank you!
Sadly I don’t have a professional camera so I will attempt to take a quality photo on my iPhone 🤣 might take some trial and error but I’m determined to get some cute Christmas photos of my horse that I have the skills to edit 💃💃
The iPhone just gets better and better! I hope you're able to get some great shots of your horse!
All I can say is WOW WOW WOW....awesome shots great tutorial ....I learned alot....always looking to learn.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
