Unsolisited FREE play of our boys & our Soya

These are shot under the worst of conditions. Shot with the 18-70mm Nikon lens I was aiming at freezing the legs of my boys (the horses) in action. Shot at 1/500th s. I achieved that, but since I'd been advised to put the camera in Auto ISO the camera went immediately to 1600 ISO. Since this is very early on with my D200 I knew NOTHING. I had not learned RAW & shot these in JPG NORMAL with all factory settings & Auto WB. No sharpening NO CAMERA ADJUSTMENTS. So these shots have become a HUGE lesson. Not to mention a good lesson in pp-ing. So these are the steps these shots have taken. They were originally JPG NORMAL - I converted them then to TIFF - after which I went through SHARPENING & converted them BACK to JPG - probably in Adobe Elements 4.0 - - but it may have been in CS3.Please be advised that this is FREE UNSOLICITED PLAY in between the horses & the dog. They're all the best of friends. The little horse is our studcolt RCA Cajun Colt 45 aka ColieOlie & he's going on 2 in these shots. In the early evenings he gets all full of himself & puts on a show. This is a daily occurrence & to this day no one has gotten hurt. They have a great time playing.
