Yes, but at that stage 2010, my Photoshop knowledge was, not a lot, concentrated then on Levels and Sharpening. Conditions were excellent, does help. Thanks. Ed.

Stupendous, Ed, that's the only word for it stupendous. Just to think, the audacity I had in posting my first picture of a Swan. Sad It makes me want to curl up into a ball and roll off somewhere, like a cliff.

When I was working on my Radiology (x-ray) degree in 1990-1992, there was a tech who called me babs. That was funny to see you call me that jon - brought back some memories there! LOL

Phil, I am delighted I cannot show you a lot of my "attempts" in 1950, they are all went into the bucket, sure we sometimes had to get a special uplift. Very few people show there bad results. A quote, "These are all the good ones, no mention of the bad". Ed.

With the antics these little ones get up to it's easy to make the connection between them and their bigger cousins.

Take a bow, Fred & Ginger. These two are pets of a friend and get into 'everything'!!

   

   

   

   

Both taken using 'on camera flash' bounced but flagged to prevent (as far as possible) direct light falling on the subject. Camera set to manual, SB800 set to TTL.

Hello Phil.

I'm not fond of the tight crop in #1, but #2 and #3 are very good - in each of those the horse almost seems to be peering out through my monitor screen in 3D!

Hi Philip,

I can see what you mean about the tight crop, retrospectively it is perhaps too tight. However, thank you for pointing it out. It was shot at 70mm with the horse no more than three or four feet in front of me. It didn't give me much room for additional distance as my heels were backing right up to the curb, with cars whizzing past about a foot from my backside, neither a comfortable feeling, nor a pretty sight. Undecided

As regards #2 & #3 I was very fortunate with the light. I'd wandered down to the village in the hope that something would crop up, and it transpired that the horses were out with their 'winter woolies' on.

What do you think of this one? Taken at a farm just outside Huntley in Aberdeenshire this Highland Pony just ambled over to the edge of her field and almost dared me to take her picture. I know nothing about her, but she was the most gentle animal I have ever encountered. I've nicknamed this particular photograph Mable, for no other reason than she just struck me as being a 'Mable' Smile

Techie Stuff.

She is beautiful! And the photo is too. Not only because of the model, but you really managed to capture all the beauty of that stunning creature.


Adding one from my almost wild collection:

Hello Korry,

Thank you for your generous comments. Most gratefully received.
If I may, I would like to describe your photograph above as being, 'a picture of Perfect Piece', because it sums up the little creature and the photograph perfectly, a picture being worth 'a thousand words'.

Best regards & Merry Christmas.

Phil.
