Meadow Maids

Uploaded: May 24, 2010

Description

Photo taken on a Hill Country back road somewhere between Austin and Fredericksburg, TX. While watching miles and miles of glorious wildflower meadows pass by, suddenly 2 white horses appeared in the middle of one...a definite "STOP-THE-CAR" moment and a quick-reflexed husband obliged (with a lot of screeching brakes and flying gravel...)

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/2500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 320, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 52.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300
