Capturing Wild Horses: A Photographer’s Adventure

Early last week I had a last minute appointment cancel, so I decided to make a quick trip out to photograph the wild ones.  Boy I’m glad I did!  It took me several days to finally process all of the photographs I took.  I have more “keepers” in this photo shoot than ever before.  It was very difficult to narrow them down to the 64 images I have included!  Early in the afternoon there was a lot of fighting and chasing.  Then the afternoon clouds were fantastic.  Then toward evening the horses were headed to water.  I usually get there in advance and photograph them coming in to water.  There was already a large crowd of photographers (a large tour group) at the watering hole and there was no way I was going to add mores stress to the horses.  I found a nice hill that some of the bands were coming over.  The images with spectacular light on Davis Mountain were great!  Then, near sunset I drove to where the horses were returning to the range to feed and got some amazing photographs of the horses dustin off in the golden sun!  Best shoot in a very long time.  Thank you Onaqui!!!
