Description

"Triumphant." A wild stallion stands victor, taking the moment to survey his domain's beautiful landscape. Two horses were pounding hooves, about to fight, but then the other decided to just give up and walk away, leaving this one triumphant. The winning horse was a bit surprised, and exhibited the rare behavior of just gazing around at the landscape. To get these striking silhouettes I came up with a technique of manually focusing on the horse yet exposing for the sun. | Sony A7 rIV.
extra info: As my photo hard drive had been stolen the year prior, losing many images of these wild horses, I was eager to get back out there in summer of 2020. I was a bit rusty at first. When I got this shot, I felt I was back in the saddle.
