I practiced the panning technique more today and I think I got some much better results than last time. Let me know what you think. I shot these in RAW, so I'm trying to learn to change my process a bit. I chose RAW mainly because a horse this dark is likely to turn out too dark when shooting in snowy environment.

| This one is my favorite because the eye is in focus. The snow is still slightly gray-ish but whatever. 1/20s f/9 44mm ISO100 |

| This was the second best. The muzzle is in focus in this one and she looks cute and happy. :) 1/20s f/9 49mm ISO100 |
Great pictures you got there, I'm planning on getting a DSLR to, want to do photography as a hobby, let's say it's a long time dream haha.
VastaaPoistaBut I'm just wondering how long does it take to get accustomed to the functions of a DSLR? to get such snaps as you have taken, what's your personal experience.
Oh and your horse looks beautiful, what breed is she?
How long? Well I was all familiar with the manual settings when I got this camera. My old bridge camera had a full manual mode and I used it a lot over the two years I had it. But I don't think it's hard once you get the hang of it.
VastaaPoistaI don't know what breed she is. Her parents are unknown, but some kind of half-blood I guess.
Milla,
VastaaPoistaPanning is one skill that I have never really attempted. I think I will use you as the inspiration to go out and give it a try. I will be sure to share the results of my experiments.
I recently came across a site that I thought you would be interested in.
