Wet And Wild
Hi everyone. A fitting upload today, considering the weather(in Wales anyway). A wild Gower Pony in the pouring rain. They are lovely peacefull animals, and great to photograph. This female looks as though she might be pregnant. All comments most welcome.
Regards to all,
Paul. :wavey:

Canon EOS 7D, Sigma 150-500mm lens, handheld. Car as hide.

f5.6, 1/100sec, ISO 100, @267mm. Slight crop on RHS.

She certainly does look pregnant. A very nice shot and despite the bad weather, catching the pony with her ears forward shows that she's more than happy to be out in those sort of conditions and worse.
A great subject and the heavy rain makes for a good setting.

A really nice image that captures the environment and conditions well. I'm a sucker for horse photos anyway. Love the water on her back.

A nice image Paul but the pony looks a tad dark on my monitor. Love the wild setting. :smile: :wavey:

Lovely image in these conditions. Maybe just a slight clockwise rotation would improve the look of the pony? :toast:
