FP6A8587 Trying to get a picture of what appears to be a lone Fell Pony coming out of a storm isn't always that straightforward. Thunder, here, is a very happy and contented pony... who loves to eat. So getting him to keep his head up long enough to get a shot meant quite a bit of persuasion form his owner. With grass, and treats flying everywhere, and another assistant just out of shot to my left - holding three flashlights. all that to get what looks like a fairly simple pose.

It never gets easier... I just get more patient!

So there you have it. A photograph taken in daylight, using three speedlights strapped together, two assistants, and a touch of Photoshop. All to get a very striking photograph in a fairly ordinary field.
