Wonderful Horses

 

Ken and I belong to a saddle club as their photographers . This past Sunday was the first day of this seasons events . The weather was cool but sunny and perfect for riding .

I just love the barrel event . To capture the riders expression's and the horses power is amazing !

                            This little girl was putting her pony through her paces and did very well !

          By the end of the day Ken and I took about 1800 to 2000 photos of each rider in each event !

        Nothing better for us then being around horses again and taking  photos of them in action !

Birds In Flight !

 

I have been busy with gardens as the weather has been soo lovely but I always have a moment to take photos .

Birds In Flight (1 of 1)

I have been practicing my flight of birds for a bit now . It’s all in the timing !

Birds In Flight (1 of 1)-13

The best time of day to photograph these guys is early morning and evening when they are most active at the feeders !

Still practicing . I find smaller birds harder to photograph in flight then larger birds . All done with out a tripod  . I like to have camera in hand and study my subject kind of get right in there !

                           Thanks for stopping by !
