Title: A Still Winters Night
Post by: Summicron on August 17, 2008, 03:38:51 PM
This is just as I found it, I took two shots and the pony didn't budge between both shots, the only thing I had for a tripod here was a gatepost, I think the exposure was about a couple of seconds, anyway it was down to a guess and the guess yielded a perfectly exposed transparency. I'd gone for a short walk on this wintry night, and spotted the pony outside the barn, mirroring the shape of the barn, so I crept across the road and held the camera firmly on top of the gatepost making sure it couldn't rock or tilt slightly, and took the picture. I'll bet that pony was wishing it was snug in that barn.

Summ - what is the round light spot above the pony?  Surely not the sun, is it?  Moon?  Makes for a very interesting shot.  I went to the view menue, clicked on actual size, and it came up very nicely.

Forgot to mention that's the moon, Al, burnt out with the long exposure.

Well it makes the shot a bit more interesting - especially being located right above the pony.
