About the Image(s)

My brother and I ventured out to the eastern side of the Sierras last week, mostly to take milky way photos but also to see what else we could find. We came upon 65 wild horses from the Montgomery Pass herd. They roam a 50,000 acre territory between California and Nevada. Some of the horses were very active, while others were just eating grass.They were also curious about us and some would follow us around. The challenge with taking this photo was to scan the area for interesting shots, focus and zoom in the correct amount. I set the camera to be shutter priority and used auto ISO.

The horses are a controversial topic in the western states because there are limited grazing areas and the horses sometimes go outside of their areas in search of food and damage property..
