Anyone sky watching on eclipse day? Here is a beautiful image of one of the greats, CH Sky Watch. Photographer Jamie Donaldson recalls making this well-known image of the four time Five-Gaited World’s Grand Champion.
"This photo is a good example of the fill flash technique I used. It was a challenging photo session because there was not an outdoor ring and fence. I had to chase Mitch and Sky Watch all over an open field to make the photos! That particular image was spoken of as among the best animated photos of a Saddlebred of all times, and I was very pleased with the results. It is among my all-time favorites."
