Today, May 10, I visited the Hanover Horse Shoes Farms in Hanover, Pennsylvania. These are a pristine series of over 30 farms housing 900+ horses that will be sold as trotters, race horses and work horses. Full history can be found here. I would check it out as they are world famous! They recently sold a foal for over the massive price tag of $1,000,000. That’s a pretty penny.
After leaving the horse farm my photography club visited the Sacred Heart Basilica. This church boasts being the oldest church in the United States of America built of stone. Named a Minor Basilica on June 30, 1962 it’s a church officially designated and given special privileges by the Pope, who is a fellow baseball fan. As a Church of Christ guy myself, I don’t know a ton about the Catholic Church so I can’t comment too much further other than the renovations to Sacred Heart were phenomenal and I enjoyed grabbing a pano from the rear pews.
As for the photos I am presenting, the first three are shot through my Nikon D810 which was recently converted to infrared. The magenta image of the shack was brought into Light Room as shot from camera and tweaked. I kept the IR without converting to black and white for dramatic effect. Those are all shot through a Nikon D810 with 24-120mm f/4 glass. The abstract horse stall, chain and panorama was shot with my Fuji GFX 50S Mark II with a 45-100mm lens.
