Description
*ceart and I went out to a property last night, then dragged ourselves out of bed to be out taking photos at sunrise.We saw the horse herd off in the distance as we made our way up the hill. They ran off, and a few minutes later the thundering of hooves could be heard, and they came over the top of the hill, running to us, surrounding us.

I can imagine it was, I'm not so sure how I would react to having wild mustangs charging over a hill at me..........kudos to you for having the guts to stand there & get the shot!!

Oh they weren't wild!
They were the work horses, they just run around free when not being used for mustering!

Most definitely! Unfortunately back home about all i'm going to see at that time of the morning is traffic.

were you scared when they rushed you? look at the ribs on the lead horse - are they wild horses?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, not really, they're the station's work horses, so I figured they thought we had food or something. There was plenty of grass around for them, I think maybe some are just getting old, is why the ribs show maybe. Not sure, not much of a horse person!

Well! We have radio stations, but I guess you guys call it a ranch. A big farm!

Absolutely wonderful picture! The tones is fantastic. (:

I love the repetition of the neutral tones in this. Very Western-Cowboyesque.

Hehe, thanks Emily. That's just how the sky came out in the pre-dawn light!

I really like this, the composition, the lighting, everything looks great. Especially with the slight vignetting too.

I'm not completely happy with it, but I doubt I can relive the experience to capture it again, so this'll have to do.

Well, that scenario is very unlikely.
