My First Attempt at...........
Posted By: Bob Harris, 05-27-2015, 09:10 PM

......at Portrait photography. I've taken a lot of landscape, nature and macro photos over the years but haven't tried portraits. We're camped on the open prairie near Pueblo West and not much opportunity to try my skills out here. My wife just smiles at me and walks away, hard to take a decent photo like that, so I finally found a victim while walking down to the arena. I tried many different f/stops, ISO and SS and this is the best I could get. Hope you enjoy my efforts, I'll keep practicing as I have the opportunity and get back with you

Bob...was this just before it ate your camera? Try explaining that to the insurance company.

thanks so much, glad you got the humor here at the horses expense, but he won't mind putting a smile on someone's face.

yep, that's for sure, just like the snow shovels you're familiar with.

new title ? don't look a gift horse.... or so they say..... thoroughly enjoy this capture bob, the perspective is unique,
which makes it appealing to me... different is better! dave m
Dave, that gift horse would of been a great title, it's funny but the horse was just watching me and not really moving much at all while I took the series of shots, almost like Mr. Ed way back in the day if you remember that.
