Horse in Pasture

Horse in Pasture in Prunedale, CaliforniaThis photograph is one from a commission  for a series of horse portraits. The conditions for shooting were challenging; it was early afternoon with harsh overhead light. The pastures were a mix of bright sun and deep shadows under oak trees. Horses, I discovered, are not interested in posing. They are interested in food and in each other, not cameras. This was shot at 1/250th of a second at f/6.3 using a 17-55 mm lens. The horse is in sharp focus while the background shows the context for the shot.
