Okay, confession time: those other pictures look pretty good, but I have to say that it’s really hard to take pictures on horseback. After a couple of futile attempts at actually composing pictures, I settled for holding the camera in one hand, pointing it in some direction, and rattling off a few frames, hoping that one would be sharp and somewhat interesting. Of the 200 pictures I snapped with this method on the trail ride, only a few came out well. The vast majority looked something like this one. This would have been much harder without digital cameras; I can only imagine trying to load a roll of film while lumbering down the trail. I’d also like to thank the unsung geniuses who invented auto exposure and auto focus.
