Week Five. Mel

The Hick Version. Tonight I went out at 7:30 so light was definitely limited. Most of what I took is grainy because my ISO is so high. I left not knowing what I would find and since I couldn't find any cool landscapes, animals it was! The cool paint horses were too far away so I was left with a couple white and one brown horse that were a bit on the mangy side.

1/640 F3.5 ISO 800

1/500 F3.5 ISO 800 (grainy but I still like it)

1/500 F3.5 ISO 800

1/500 F3.5 ISO 800 (this baby's mama is in the last photo)

1/2500 F8.0 ISO 400
I want to take more photos like this. I love our sunsets in Moses Lake and this summer I'm going to get all the pink and purple skies. I realize this isn't that clear and would have been better with a tripod but I put it here anyway. We're learning, right?

1/250 F2.7 ISO 400 Super Macro
(this looks dark to me but it was 0+/-, ?)

I ended up at the cemetery (random I know) and these cute daisies are on Todd's grave.

And last but not least. In fact, it was the funniest one I took tonight. I've never heard a cow 'growl' at someone before but when I got close to her baby (the one above) she totally made eye contact (so it seemed) and made a mad growling sound at me. It's a blurry photo but classic subject....

A fellow nursing mother, HA!!

Awesome job Mel! Great animal shots. I do love horses. They are some amazing creatures! I love the picture of the brown horse by itself and the two horses together. I like in the sunset picture how you can see the sun rays coming through the clouds, so cool. The daisy picture is so cute! I really wish I had a lens I could get that close with!!

Love the fellow nurser. Aren't you glad we don't have to let them hang for all to see! Ha!

Great photos Mel. Keep up the good work. I'm jealous I'm not in there learing too. Someday I'll get a better camera and give you guys some competition. (Is that spelled right?)
