    The second shot is the best (from a photographic point of view). The first shot shows the moth off best, but I really like the 2nd one When you're photographing real close-up stuff you'll find you have very limited depth of field (or depth of focus) but in these shots you have the focus on the important part (the head and eyes). Selecting the smallest aperture (f22 or whatever your lens goes to) will give you a little more depth of field but obviously your shutter speed will be slower, so you will need either a very steady hand, a tripod (and a stationary subject) or turn the ISO up a

    very cute I love the last shot.

    That looks super Would seem a shame to cut it!

    You'll be wanting rainbows next... Sorry Sharps - couldn't resist! There aren't any mountains round here What image editing software do you use? There's loads of free tutorials on the net, just do a google. Anything specific with photoshop CS just ask! You've made a great start with some very impressive shots so far

    I like the shots of the horse's eye. the last horse pic is a bit out of focus, I guess he turned his head at the last moment! The first shot of the statues is interesting - maybe shoot that again from a lower angle so that the outstretched hands have a bit more impact? A bit more contrast would help too. Keep up the good work!

    As said, salt water is good & always available Hibiscrub can be bought almost anywhere and is useful if a wound looks like it might be getting a slight infection. Give a good wash with it and leave on for a few minutes before rinsing off.

    I like the first shot, lovely composition, pity the light was so crappy. Hard to get good shots in these conditions, but it's always worth a try and sometimes you can rescue pics. Had a brief faff in photoshop - hope you don't mind

    Nice shots of the grebe. I like the last one best

    Be very wary if you are using cattle strength products. These contain ivermectin in much higher concentrations than those found in small animal stuff. Though it is theoretically possible to dose Ivomec (and other large animal ivermectin products) in a concentration appropriate for small animals, even small mistakes in the amount can lead to toxic doses of ivermectin being administered. Better to get the proper concentration designed for dogs. Some dogs may be at higher risk due to a genetic sensitivity to ivermectin and it should be used with extreme caution in these individuals, particu

    Nice shots, good to see you using your new camera I really like the last two, and the first shot of the dog would be lovely if the focus was better. It looks as if the camera focused on the grass just behind... the 2nd dog pic is better, but the light isn't so good. Can't win, can you?

    html code? I guess you hit the enter key... your spelling has destroyed the formatting

    First pic of the dogs on the ridge is cool I like the bridge and landscape shots too. Maybe try a bit of processing on the black and whites to bring out a little more contrast and texture.

    Some nice shots there. I like the one of the kid trying to strangle the terrier! No 10 is lovely too with the light catching the leaves

    I do like the first two pics, and the one of the path through the wood. Those bales have been there a while! I like the first shot of the fox crossing the track, it doesn't matter that it's tiny in the frame because sometimes it's nice to see the animal in a wider environment. You can soon get close-ups at the wildlife centre. However, I would crop about a quarter from the bottom of the pic and clone out the electric fence posts. Nice to see you're taking some proper pics though

    As antg said, it's not that easy... you really need to learn with an experienced horse before you attempt to break one in yourself. I'd imagine it's even more difficult if your horse has been western trained (neck-reining and stuff) You can start by long-reining (I think they call it ground-driving in the U.S.) this will at least get the horse going forward without the help of your legs and get her used to you controlling her from behind. Next step is to work her with the harness on, but I'd definitely seek the help of someone experienced before you actually put the cart behind her.

    Good start with your new camera
  17. MuttleMcTuttle
    Nice one

    Can't quite remember, but I think the 20D sets the ISO automatically if you use the pre-set modes? If not, setting it to 200 should give you enough speed if it's sunny. For action shots select sport mode (running man) for close-up shots of hounds and people use portrait mode, for general views switch to landscape mode. If you want more control over the settings use AV (aperture) or TV (speed) priority, but for the action shots try and keep the shutter speed at 1/500 sec minimum if the hounds are running fast or you want to catch splashing water etc. If you want to be really lazy just put

    Very nice shots of the hounds

    Second shot is really nice, and the close-up is very close! Is it the same moth? I'd crop a sliver off the left of the horse shot, and quite a bit from the top to tighten the frame up a little, but I like it how it is too.
  21. MuttleMcTuttle
    Yes, just too cute for words! Lovely pics
  22. MuttleMcTuttle
    something every horse owner should be aware of

    Flickr? Photobox, if you want to offer prints for sale set up a pro gallery. Alternatively, set up your own website. I'd suggest that instead of putting up a "shed load" you are slightly more selective and only put up the best shots.

    Beautiful creatures, superb shots
