It finally arrived.... and it's going to be a bit of a learning curve for me so bear with me.
The first couple of photos I took were of Tess.
I used the automatic settings for this. It didn't require much for post processing, just upped the clarity a little.
Outside, I used the same setting and found I had to do a lot of post processing to get rid of the glare, with only moderate success.
Tess is doing quite well, she can still jump in the truck, and is mostly steady on her feet. She has recovered from an abscess on her elbow but still limps on the left front. I started her on Protandim today.
Today is the fourth anniversary of her mama's death. Reba was 15 and a half, Tess is about 14 and a half. She is much more mobile than Reba was at that age.
Next- on to the barnyard. These 2 photos were taken using the setting that allows the camera to choose the scene. The light was really strong and the horses looked washed out in the photos so I had to do a lot of post processing.
That's her "Quit playing with the camera and bring me my grain! " look.
This one was really washed out. To be fair, the sun was really strong on the background and he is so dark and most of him in the shade, as you can see by the over exposed background the camera was probably confused!
It will take me a while to figure out the metering and the settings.
Next photo was taken in the house, with a bit more success but I wasn't really happy with the focus. I was expecting it to be sharper.
So today I will have some fun playing with the settings and see what happens.

I love the last one. I guess there's a huge learning curve with a new camera! I can't wait to see what you do once you figure it all out!
I'm still figuring out my camera and I got it a few years ago! Then again I know next to nothing about taking good photos.
Tess is very sweet and looks like she's doing well for her age. We had an Ausssie (Molly) who lived to be almost 18. She was still going strong until the vet hit her with his SUV. The last picture is stunning. Hope you got that grain in a hurry, looks like she had enough of posing!
What fun to have a new camera! Good to see Tess! I love those Tulips...mighty clear photo!
Cameras, computers and even phones - I am ever learning on all of them! We are our worst critics. Your photos look good, especially for a brand new camera. Have fun learning, looking forward to many more of your creative pics!
Set yourself up to succeed with some different light - overcast day or earlier or later. Super bright light and a black horse...not much good can come from that no matter how many manuals you read ;-D.
