Default Horses

Here are a few horse shots from our last adventure.

Well neighbor you got yourself a herd of great shots here. (I know that was way to corny and I couldn't stop myself)

I really like the 2nd one .. just something about that profile that looks amazing

Great photos.

I am having the hardest time photographing my parents' horses.
They always end up looking like Giraffe's

Anyone have any tips on how to take great photo's of horses without getting the long nose line or crazy giraffe neck thing?

Try 3/4 profile and not too low of an angle. That may help.

How lucky that you have them at your disposable to photograph! Beautiful shots and I like the second the most too! I love horses and there's a few that I have favorited on my flickr. Here's a link to one that is just exceptional if you care to see.

I like the 3rd by far. The mane is dancing in the wind and the horse is looking straight on...full attention and with the great background as well.
