Hello Phrasikleia, as always your photos are amazing!! I'm newbie and I'm wondering if I'll be able to produce photographs as stunning as yours:(. May I ask, Did you use Single focus point and where did you focus as the image looks very sharp. Did you post process the image as well? Sorry i've got too many questions. Care to share it with the rest of us. Many thanks.

Hi adonisadonis and thanks for your very kind words about my photos. :) As for the shot of the horses, yes, I did use a single focus point. When I first approached this location, I had a landscape in mind (which I took and will post here eventually), but I could not resist trying to photograph the horses when I saw them. Had I known I would be photographing moving animals, I probably would have brought along my other camera, which makes focusing on moving subjects much easier. The one I used is mainly my landscape camera, and I typically focus manually with it.

I must have taken about 100 photos of the horses and cows in that field to get maybe five that I like. :eek: For one thing, the animals were far more interested in eating grass than looking at me (despite my best efforts to charm them with sounds and fistfuls of tall grass), so it was very hard to get a shot of them engaging with the camera. Also, contrary to how my shot might look, the animals were constantly on the move, meandering all around this large pasture, so I had to keep scrambling back and forth along the edge of it.

Post processing: very little beyond the necessary raw-->JPEG decisions on this one.

The horses and the mountains in the background plus the amazing lighting...stunning. One of the most beautiful photographs I've ever seen. Is that Slovenia and the Julian Alps?

Many thanks, jwp1964. Yes, it's Slovenia, but in the Kamnik Alps. I just got back from a weekend in the Julian Alps and will have photos to share from there as soon as I get them processed. :)

Gotta love the steely blue color that comes out when light hits storm clouds...wonderful.

Can't wait to see the others. In 2010 I spent a long weekend in Slovenia...not nearly enough time. Trying to get back over there for at least 30 days in the future. It is unbelievable how much natural beauty is packed into such a small country.

Not really a great picture today, but more of a "huh?" for me. Who ordered fall in the middle of August? I think our drought may cause trees to drop early this year, as this one is doing...
