Asking for trouble

Anyone in Unionville's horse world could have predicted that this photo shoot would have been challenging.
According to a recent "Wall Street Journal" review of a British exhibition by fashion photographer Tim Walker:
"In a 2009 image taken on the rolling hills of Northumberland, near Scotland, three huntsmen in scarlet coats guide their horses over a dilapidated fence, above which a giant UFO hovers. A pack of nine hounds bound along beside the riders. It took hours to get the right shot, says Mr. Walker, because the horses -- accustomed to chasing foxes, not aliens -- had to learn to tolerate the shiny silver object suspended on poles hidden in the picture. Even with all the practice, one horse hid behind the UFO in the shot, while another spooked at the fence."
