Horses Running in Snow by Sharlott Hasty

Here is what Sharlott had to say about capturing this beautiful photo:

This photo of the horses was taken in February 2017 at a ranch in Northern Wyoming. What an exciting morning when we woke up to eighteen
inches of new snow on the ground.

The wranglers were moving 86 horses across the new snow from one pasture to another. This was quite a sight as the horses were
stirring up clouds of snow as they ran. The sky was overcast, creating a giant soft box.

It was a very cold but photo-filled morning.  I took many pictures of the string of running horses then looked for an image with a group of horses that were without merges.

Details: Nikon D500, Nikkor 18-300 at 52 mm, 1/1250, f8, +1EV because of the snow, ISO 900. Edited in Lightroom CC.
