Nice images, I use my blog to record horsey things I do and it is always nice to go back and read it and see the associated pictures.

Unlike your professional quality photos taken on good quality cameras, mine tend to be taken on either my tiny Canon Ixus or a phone which means they won't win any prizes but they do their job of rekindling old memories.

This one is actually a frame of video taken on an early go cam - on a gallop over the sands into the sea at Lochgilphead one of the horses decided to have a roll - dumping the lady rider, a reporter for the Daily Mail, totally under the waves. She was the only one on the ride to have NOT brought a change of clothes despite having been advised to!



Earlier - she is on the horse on the right -


Thx. They aren't top quality photos because there was no ability to manage the lighting or little time to set the scene. See, point, shoot.

Under those situations, it doesn't really matter what you record it on...as long as you have it with you and use it. 
These days, the bigger the equipment bag the less likely I am to even bother to take it out with me, unless it's an organised specific photographic outing.  This is where phones and compacts can really score.

The crazy thing is that these days I only view images on an iPad ...and I don't need a 25mp+ DSLR for that.

My wife is now exclusively using an iPhone 11Pro.....hasn't used her DSLR camera for well over a year. Her photos are still high photographic standard because she uses the same techniques and skills she learnt to use on a DSLR....on the iPhone. I think it's recognising the limitations of the device and working within its limits.
