Storm Horses

Description

Dad shot most of this photo at Guadalupe Mountains National Park in West Texas. He was traveling to the Williams Ranch, an abandoned homestead within the park, when a summer storm popped up unexpectedly. He wasn’t planning on shooting a storm, but the lightening was fantastic. So he stopped driving on the incredibly rough road and pulled out his camera. He used the back of his cap-covered pick up truck as a safe shooting position.

Dad captured a great moment in the desert, but he knew he needed something else to really make the picture. He found white horses at a ranch near Austin, Texas. After some work in Adobe Photoshop the summer storm and white horses merged to become a great Old West image.
