Thanks to fellow BPNer and guide David Cramer, photographing the wild horses of Placitas, NM was made possible on my way to Bosque. They are about 30 mins from the airport. If memory serves me correctly, I believe this band totalled 7 and included 2 foals.
I chose this picture b/c of the mood it portrayed. I didn't think any more photography was possible b/c the sun was so low. Then, all of a sudden, the stallion looked up and I saw this scene. It's difficult to tell, the stallion is on a pretty steep incline.
Canon 40D, Canon 400 DO
F8, 1/500sec, ISO 400, manual mode
Handheld from the side of hill.
Great timing with the light and do like the mood, very different and like it a lot. Careful framing and horse placement in frame is just right !!! Sweet !!!
I enjoyed showing you the horses, Mariana. True to form, you didn't stop photographing until the last ray of light was gone. The pose is great, and I also love how you've presented his long tail to the ground that wild horses often have.
