The White Knight
Icelandic Horses are a breed of their own - Resilient to the rugged landscape and weather while having a very gentle and friendly personality. This guy was particularly inquisitive and playful. His mane is just as silky as it looks - must be the shampoo they use!
Photo Tip: I used a portrait lens for this shot - its good to use for subjects like this where you want the background to blur away in the distance. The aperture has to be open wide to produce this effect (i.e, low F number). This can be tricky to nail down as commonly, subject can get blurry if the focus is not at the right spot. For a start, try pointing towards the eyes, the rest will often work itself out.
