Horses on the Lar Plain of Iran

Photo courtesy of Akbar Nemati.            (Click on the photo for a larger view) Today's picture features some very pretty horses that photographer Akbar Nemati encountered while visiting Iran's Lar Plain. Regardless of where you find them, horses almost always make for a great picture. These marvelous animals don't seem to mind one bit that the grass they love to chow down on is virtually buried underneath the snow. Here are the camera and settings used to capture this image: Camera: Canon EOS 40D Focal length: 115 mm Shutter speed: 1/250 second Aperture: f/9.1 ISO: 100   Visitor Comments...
