A couple of days ago while out walkies I spotted a mare with her foal but photo opportunities were difficult as the foal was taking a well earned nap and the camera battery ran out.
Yesterday when we passed the same spot the foal was up and about and a short wait enabled me to get a good view albeit a distant one.
I also took a bit of video as I was using the TZ7. This is a still from the widescreen video.
I have recently found a program called VideoMach which will automatically combine jpg photos to make a video. Another facility it has is to crop a video. This is what I did with the following clip. I lost some of the surrounding scenery by cropping a 640 x 480 section.
The TZ7 was hand held in one hand (Bobby's lead was in the other) and the full 12x zoom had to be used so the result is a bit on the wobbly side. That is not Bobby barking!
That was a good video to test out some of the software you have found. So sweet to see the little foal up on its feet staying right with its mom.
ReplyDeleteHello Wilma. I just wish I could get nearer to the horses.
ReplyDeleteLovely...new foals look so delicate but no doubt in a few days it will be doing high kicks round the field:-)
ReplyDeleteThey do Helen. It was staying very close to mum on that afternoon.
