Mr. Horse

Moreton Morrell, Warks. view map

A recent pic of the beast at the Moreton Morrell show on Good Friday - he's such a baby, he got all unnecessary 'coz his mates were still busy down on the ring...he even stopped eating for goodness sake! I suppose it was worth it though - Naomi and the stable team were 6th (yay!) against some stiff opposition, so well done to them :o)

OK, so not actually a person, but he may as well be...he certainly eats me out of house and home, much as the kids do....

BTW, I was using my old (now Finn's) D300 and really noticed the lovely OoF background with the 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 superzoom - how come I never got the bokeh as good as this when it was my camera??

A terrific portrait. Don't tell him he is not a person. :)

Certainly is super effect with the very small DOF, almost 3D effect with beautiful clarity and sharpness of 'Mr Horse'.

A very smart looking animal Doug is the dof something to do with the extra focal length on the smaller frame? Not being a Nikon man I'm not sure if yours is full frame

He's a beautiful horse. And, I know you love him as much as the kids do. You did an excellent job here, Doug!
