Bronze horses in Lexington Ky

Not big into "Horse Art" but I like this work by a local artist.

This was taken with the Olympus with my Yashinon 50mm (100mm in practice). I needed practice with manual settings after a decade of auto everything and anything. I also wanted to see what this lens has. Love the lens, but missed having wide angle. The first and second images were washed out, but Auto White Balance was able to fix the image. I went with the 1:1 format on the first one because that was the only thing that worked. Still not sold on the image, but I did like how the black and white worked.

2. I really wanted to see if the lens is as good as they say.

Its real purpose is for portraits. I will be trying that later. I will have to get an Electronic Viewfinder. Shooting manual in full sunlight is difficult with the lcd.

BTW, do you want 8X10 sized images of Bondurant's

3. 8 x 10s

You're talking digital images, right? If so, yes, and you have my e-mail. Thanks again.

The detail on that hood above is amazing. Seems like the lens is as good as they say.

6. What I will do is convert them to 8X10 and send them to you.

But first I need to watch Man United and Barca play.
