Galloping Smile
A Moment in Photographic History:
On May 2, 1887 Hannibal W Goodwin patented celluloid photographic film. That is when widespread amateur photography truly began.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
If you get an opportunity in photography you have to grab it – they don’t come along that often. When you get the chance of a great picture, you have to identify that quickly and make the most of the situation. Whatever age you are you can do that. Even with luck, you will still have to press the shutter at the right time. You need good reflexes and you need to be fit. – - – - – - John Giles

Super photo and oh my what a smile…and I love the quote, it’s so true, I’ve often found myself twisted to get the right shot, takes forever now to get untwisted though lol

I love how you captured the horse in motion – yet frozen perfectly without a blur! And who has the larger smile – the horse or the ridder? Excellent shot.

Le sourire du galopin sur un cheval pas rassuré. un contraste amusant entre les deux personnages
