Hi! This is my first time submitting a photo so I apologize if I do anything wrong 🙂 I was milking our family cow and I noticed the fog around the barn, so I decided to run to the house and pull out my camera and see what I could get. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!!
Nikon D3200
55mm
f/8
1/13- This topic was modified 54 years, 11 months ago by .
Picture didn’t show up. Like most of us first time or two you’ll discover the file size is too large. Max file size is 2048kb.
Thanks @LewisFamily! Let me try again.

Wow! I really like those 🙂 The only thing I would change on the first one crop it in so you can’t see the second horse because it’s kind of distracting from the main subject. And the second photo is pretty with the way the fog shows up but there is so much going on (the horse, the trees) that it just isn’t that eye grabbing of a picture.
Just an idea if you had gotten down from a lower angle and zoomed in more it could make a much more interesting subject with the trees blurred as the the background.I agree with @elianafranzenburg about getting on a lower angle. Really nice pics overall! One thing I noticed was the second photo was a little over exposed. I played around with it a little in editing and attached the result. Also it seems that if the horse in the first pic had its head turned a little to the right it would be perfect. Do you typically edit your photos? I’ve found a little editing goes a long way. 🙂 Also just curious, where do y’all have a farm?

@dara__cochran, Nice photos!
I really like the first one. Perhaps decreasing your aperture would give a nice bokeh behind the horse. @hayhand02, I like your edit, it helps to bring out more detail in the picture.@dara__cochran, I would straighten the first photo a bit, and I would also use a larger aperture of about f/4 to blur the background a bit more. Great job with these photos!

Thank you so much for your critique @ElianaFranzenburg you are so right, if I have the opportunity To take photos like these again I with definitely try your suggestions 😀
thanks @JohnM. Your comments are very very much appreciate! Yes I edit my photos, not always but for these I did a little bit. Thanks for your edit, seeing your edit made me realize that my photo really was too bright. we live and have a farm in Georgia!! Again thank you so much for your critique!
Thank you so much @Josephcamuso for your comments! I totally agree, If I try to take that photo again I will definitely try and lower my aperture to get a nice Bokeh 😀
Thank you so much @RyanMaderas your thoughts are definitely appreciated! If I try to take that photo again I Will definitely keep your comments in mind! 😀
I especially like the first photo, and think that the other horse in the background adds depth to the photo and makes it more interesting. What ISO did you shoot it at? Often it is better to raise your ISO to get a faster shutter speed so you have a sharper photo. 1/13 is rather slow for handheld shots or living subjects.
Wow! I love the first one! Just a couple of quick thoughts…
I agree with the other commenters—definitely open the aperture up so you can get some bokeh.
Also, it looks like the nose is just a touch out of focus. Make sure the eyes are in crisp focus, but I would make sure your depth of field (aperture) setting allows the entire face to be in focus all at once.Great pic, though. Love the fog! If there was only a way to add some breath coming from the horses nose, I think it would also add a lot!
Way to take advantage of a picturesque situation at an otherwise ordinary (I assume) location!
I’m of the same opinion of @dhancock, I think the second horse (in the first picture) adds a sense of “community” sorta. I may have stepped to the left slightly to decrease the amount of space between them and frame the shot so both horses were slightly closer together (the one in the background away from the edge more especially).
Absolutely LOVE that second image! Keep your eye on the STS forum….the next assignment (planning to post it on Monday the 12th) is going to be something like “dreary day” and this would be a perfect submission!
