I went back yesterday evening. The horses had moved into an open field. The good thing about digital is that I was able to blow off 133 frames. The bad news is that I've got like 133 frames of horses to sort through looking for the keepers. What I should have done is asked for pointers for shooting horses ina field *before* going off for a reshoot. I continued up San Felipe to Metcalf, top down in the Miata. I can see that that little loop of a drive is full of photographic opportunities. This may sound odd to folks who haven;t lived in this area for more than a couple of decades but I didn't realize that there was a little bit of California so close to the office. I stopped to shoot a rusty barn, and it turns out that there was someone working on a car in the yard I had parked in front of. He says that a lot of people stop to shoot it, and the rusty farm equipment just up the road (corner of San Felipe and Metcalf). As a short digression, he had dropped a turbo charged 2.3l ford 4 cyl into his 69 Cougar, replacing the V-8. Later on, I got some shots of a tree in the late dusk. 30 second exposures, a couple of them with flash. A quick look when I got home last night shows that a couple of them have potential, but I'm no Dave Savage. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
