The Only Reason Why Horses Wake Up at 7AM

I ride at a barn between West Bend and right outside the Town of Cedarburg, out in the country. To the right is my pony Chanel actually, I recorded her eating.

Feed Time at a horse barn is the most lively time of day. The one time all the horses start calling out for their food.

Depending on where I stood, I could also hear the horses eating without being close by (they have a tendency to stick their heads out stall window).

The Sounds I would like to focus on more:
Horse Calls
Horses Eating
Pouring of Grain
Hay, rustle, eating, feeding
Wheel Barrel
Foot steps
Birds
Horses footsteps

Avoid:
Horses kicking stall walls
Hay tractor
Too much talking

Add:
Horses Footsteps
Possibly keep the rain, able to record rain on this day for future recordings/mixing

Change:
Manage horse calls, no peaking
Manage bird calls, not too distracting
Foreground:
horses eating hay
rustle of hay
horse stomping ground
wheel barrow
grain being poured
lower horse calls

Middle Ground:
people talking
horses calling
grain being poured (wheel barrow moves away)
horse kicking stall door


Background:
Birds
Rain
horse kicking stall
latch of stalls (quieter as they move down aisle)
talking (muffled)
rain on side of barn
higher pitched call(echo)

Lighting Class Ridiculousness

Besides blasting Gangnam Style there were other various songs playing causing Perkins to show off his moves (Right).

Mr. Halverson's "Dance"
Because I wasn't laughing enough already in this weeks class...

If you want to see other fun photos from our lighting class (aka reasons why you should take the class) take a look at Lighting 2012- UNedited.

The more professional photos for what really happens in this class are here Lighting Fall 2012

Have a good Weekend!
