Very nice idea of framing on the last one. Looks like the light was really good during the shoot and interesting sky to back it up.

Oh they are super pics Silver, really good, particularly number 4, the cow portrait. How close were you able to get to them? It looks as though they were pretty un-fazed by your presence. Regarding number 4 again, is that one of those freak tornadoes in the background to the right? We have never visited the New Forest, so it is very interesting to see these pics.

Amazing!!

Is it a Nikon D200 you have?

thanks all

the tornado in the 4th pic is a blade of grass close to the camera, I guess I was around 3 or 4 feet from the animal, they aren't that tame though as they are left to roam free for most of the year you have to approach slowly and sit with them a while and they get used to you - at least that's my excuse

ya is d200, same image can be done with d50, am using a 17-55 lens stopped down, same image is possible with 18-70, for the distorted effect go to the wide end / near 18mm and get close to the subject, stop the lens down a bit for more depth of field f5.6 to f11 if you can and possibly underexpose by a stop for the sky (and fix later in paint app)
