WoofnHoof Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone, still fiddling with the camera trying to work everything out so here are today's efforts :) Louie looking lovely as always This one's a bit blurry Blitzen looking cute of course despite going through a warty stage at the moment This pic makes him look funny as he's trotting down the hill Edited February 24, 2012 by WoofnHoof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kja Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Such pretty horses! I think I missed it - what new camera did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidoney Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 OMG those warts! Otherwise they look great. The focus is looking much better. Don't worry about that single one, one here and there is pretty normal, the rest look good and the moving ones are fine so it's not a moving subject issue. Just the one of B coming towards you is a little fuzzy out of the others. Did you crop that heavily or is that how you took it? That can lose some sharpness, doing that. Another thing to check is how much you are zoomed on the horse, and how steady you are, if you are zoomed right in you need to keep that shutter speed up to avoid camera shake. My Arabian is named "Wart". He picked it up because he was one of the young horses I looked after at a stud and of course it didn't matter what we called them around the stables, because they'd get lovely new names when they were sold. Except I bought him. I *did* try to name him something else but I don't even remember what it was. 22 years later, he's still Wart. You won't have to go through *that*.

WoofnHoof Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks everyone they are my pretty boys :) kja I've had this one for a little while it's a Nikon p500 not too fancy but a bit more spec than my previous point and shoot cameras so I'm trying to learn how to use it I'm not too good though Thanks Sid yeah I think the straight on one was a bit cropped and a bit rushed too, I didn't get many moving pics as they were mostly eating as that paddock is having a good rest so the grass is starting to outcompete the weeds for a change lol! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoofnHoof Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Got a few pics today not very good ones though This is supposedly 'sports mode' on my camera This is just manual settings I think I had ISO on 400? Lou couldn't even raise a trot lol I must work out how to remove the date display it's a bit inconvenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoofnHoof Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 More pics :) This one would be better with ears lol This is my fave pic of today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirty Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Gorgeous horses!! They are such handsome boys. :) WnH, to get clearer action shots, don't zoom in when you are taking photos of them running around. You are better off taking the shot at a distance, then cropping it. Also, make sure you hold the button half down to focus it, then depress fully to take the pic. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoofnHoof Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks Kirty I thought I was holding it halfway for a bit but maybe it's not long enough to get the focus right? Most of them are cropped one second he's close next he is at the other end of the paddock so they are either really close or really far away lol! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
