Today I went out to see if I could capture some deer with the D200 -- but alas, they were camera shy. So, I ventured into a farmer's field who was raising Clydesdales and other large workhorses to see if I could take some equine shots. I figured it would be a snap (pun intended) as I had a bunch of carrots with me.
Well I learned a little lesson: some horses can get quite aggressive in a herd. Soon I was surrounded and being jostled by these huge horses who were all too willing to take a bite out of whatever seemed handy and might potentially be tasty, including me and my camera. So, I had to retreat!
I decided to lure one of the colts to my new position and took this shot. He was a lot more friendly than his companions and as a result got the bulk of my carrots :smile:
