Description

I saw these beauties from a dirt road traveling near South Point Hawaii. What I didn't see was the knoll and barbed wire fence that would be in the frame when I got close enough to take the shot. Ended up having to climb the knoll and hold the camera over my head, hoping for the best. Several shots and some cropping later, this is the result. Next trip, I will have to include a ladder in the luggage!

Well you got a beautiful shot as a result of your efforts. Nothing better than photos of horses. Such a beautiful backdrop too with that amazing cloud! #9312623

Amazing clarity and focus considering all you had to go thru. I, too, would like a ladder with me for many shots. Sigh...a camera, a tripod and a ladder... #9449171

Thanks Bonnie! I'd love to go back to there again some time. It was beautiful everywhere. I've re-thought the ladder option though ... best to leave some things to chance huh? #9452602
