Playin' with my camera

Since the rain stopped the horses got turn-out early this morning, and I figured it was a good time to play with the new camera: I wanted to try out the action setting. Rio was happy to oblige as my model.

I think the camera should have a "goofy" setting:

The horses were so happy to get out on the grass that I couldn't get much action from them. Too busy munching! But I did manage a couple.

You can see in this photo the lumps under Chickory's jaw from her new teeth erupting.

 See those dark spots on Rio's face? He's going to shed out that color. Pretty much like mama, I figure. Should be a flashy boy when he's all grown up, with all that chrome and a dark color.
Couldn't get much action out of Beamer either.

Yep, he was filling his face too, but he did strike a pose for me.

These photos were all taken before sun up, I guess I'm pretty happy with how they turned out considering I didn't play with speed or aperture, just let the camera figure it out. I did some macro shots for Sunday stills too that turned out nicely- but you'll see those ones on Sunday.
