Each evening one of the horses is let loose in the riding arena for playtime; this particular evening it was Pete's turn. He ran several times at full speed from one end of the arena to the other, skidding to a stop each time just before crashing into the fence. I made several photos as he ran past; this is my favorite: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/mammals/pete.html This was hand-held, panning with the horse. The file is full-frame. Cropping suggestions are welcome. The tech stuff: Leicaflex SL, 180mm f/3.4 APO-Telyt-R, Kodachrome 64. Life is too short for anything less. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento www.wildlightphoto.com
