This is one of my favorite horse shots to date (and I have taken hundreds since begining my "journey through the lens"). The reason is that this photograph was taken from literally a football field away, with the aid of my zoom lens. The detail I was able to capture, especially around their mouths, with the foam produced from their hard work, is absolutely remarkable to me considering my distance from them when this shot was taken. This is one of those times when photography simply amazes me. The ability to capture and image and stop time, if you will, at such a disance and in such detail never ceases to amaze me. Horses have always been my favorite animals. Perhaps it has something to do with their vast contribution to life as we know it- from aiding us in war, agriculture, and productivity of all kinds, to symbolizing power, strength, beauty, grace and freedom, they truly are magnificent creatures.
