Thank you, David.
I tried a slightly tighter crop on the bird photo, but the bokeh from
that lens takes on a mottled look at lower apertures, so I thought it
best to sacrifice the detail in favor of the broader scene. As for the
horse shot, I tried getting a narrower aperture setting to get more DOF,
but they were inquisitive horses, so they both tended to converge toward
the center of the frame, blocking out the background as I tried to set
it up. That was the only "clean" shot I got out of about five attempts.
Thanks again!

Another fine gallery. I like the first one, wonder how a tight crop on
the bird would work out, and the horse trailer one. I liked the horse
shot of the cremelo ( i think it is) framed by the two black heads but
i think more DOF would help that one.

Hi all,
I took the K20D and K-x out again this morning, around 8:00 with the intent
of taking photos of my neighbor training his horse. Unfortunately, it was
the horse's off-day -- so he'll be running tomorrow morning (weather
permitting).
Rather than let the light go to waste, I went ahead and took a photowalk,
and I'm really glad I did. I don't think I've ever had a day with so many
opportunities.
Same configuration as last time: K20D with the A 50/1.7 and K-x with the
Promaster 70-300 f/4-5.6. All of the images with file names containing IMGP
are shot with the K-x and the ones containing _WJG were shot with the K20D.
I'm growing more impressed with that 70-300 all the time.
About 31 images in the gallery, but it's on Flickriver, so it's not quite so
tedious to go through 'em.

Comments, critiques and suggestions are, as always, eagerly solicited.
Thanks!
