Sure...PM it to me. Have a lot of catching up to do! :)

Hey...I know u haven't been on here for awhile...just dropping by to say hi

Got some new pics of Spirit today: Pics of Spirit « Tango Niner Two

Three weeks later, I finally get around to taking more pics of Spirit! =P Just posted them on flickr. =)

I took a few on film, too – Hopefully I'll get them up on flickr within the month (depending on how quick I shoot the roll). If they turn out, that is... I've never shot film before.

I'm actually fixing to leave for Texas for a week (leaving my house in about 2 hours), so I don't have time to get pics now. I'll (try to) make it a priority to get some pics when I get back, though! =D

Noice! Looking good. =)

I know, right? Little animals are so cute/so much fun! =D

Kk. You're camera must have some pretty sweet low-light capabilities if you can keep it at ISO 800! My old D40 was terrible at high ISOs... pretty much anything higher that 400 looked wretched. =P

Ta da!!! It's official 'cause he's in the "barn" now. =)

Spirit the horse

Good. He's most likely the one I'll go with. =) Not yet – I'll have to get that done myself. He's asking $200.

Ah, k. So basically since you're using AV Mode, you're using your aperture to adjust the exposure of your photos?

Looked at minis tonight! There're two for sale – one's a sorrel, and one's a buckskin (though with his winter coat he doesn't really look all that buckskin right now).

This one's Spirit (I like him better of the two – mainly because he's a different color from Oakey)


And this is Justin Bieber (and... since I'm not a fan of Justine Bieber, I'd definitely change his name if I got him =P Probably to something like "Ghillie")


Ah, k. Nope. Not on that forum.

Your depth of field (in essence, how much is in focus) is determined by your aperture. The smaller the aperture (or f-number), the less there is in focus (which is how the dog's nose could be clear, but not the eyes); the bigger the f-number, the more that's in focus. I hope that makes sense, 'cause it can kinda be confusing. I can't wait to see the portraits! =D

I'm terribly sorry for taking so long to reply... work's been really crazy this week.

Will do. =) I'm thinking that I might call my mini-owning neighbor sometime next week to see if he's interested in selling.

Yeah, it's definitely not the most exhilarating job... but it pays well, and the stuff I'm doing is really nice to know how to do.

Nope. I'm "TylerGS" on the digital-photography-school forum (though I never get on there anymore). Which forum are you talking about?

That ones really good! Color feels natural, and framing is engaging. For the most part, focus is spot on – I would watch it around the eyes, though; in this pic the nose is in better focus than the eyes (how wide of a focus range do you have your camera set to?). No big deal, but something to keep in mind. =)

No doubt frame, and sabino. I am glad you are not breeding her, there are far too many homeless horses and horses looking for homes right now for people to be breeding.

We had one horse named Bear, and everytime we would go out i would just borrow one of the horses at the stables that needed to be ridden. I bought my first horse today, his name is Willy he is a red...

Tobiano doesn't cause those markings though, one of the other white patterns do. So a tobiano with face white should be a tovero by the APHA's definitions. The APHA is so outdated in their colour...

There are essentially five pinto patterns - tobiano, frame, sabino, splash and dominant white. Each is caused by a different gene, and each has a unique way of affecting a horse's coat pattern. ...

As many others have said on your many other threads- as a beginner, it would be in your best interest to go with an older horse to start with. Posted via Mobile Device

She's a cutie! Glad to see you can accept her conformation flaws and make a responsible decision! There should be more like you. I bet you guys will have loads of fun in the upcoming years. :-D

I wouldn't even bother spending the $25 on the Frame test. She's definitely frame.

Just FYI, I edited my first post and added more info. :-)

Definitely sabino and frame. Maybe splash, but sabino can make belly spots like that also. The high white makes me think yes for splash.

I'd say frame, sabino and splash. Frame will restrict white. Look at her legs. A few legs are all brown or have very little white. Also, the belly spot and neck spot, its surrounded by brown....

If you couldn't tell from the smileys, it was mostly in jest. I don't understand why people get so offended that a registry created to register/preserve pinto colored QH's (even if it later accepted...

And this is yes another reason why we should stop using the word "overo". Sabino is one of the "overo" genes that people who don't know better lump with the other two.

I see alot of "Purebred Pinto Arabian". That's just ignorant advertising. Arabians cannot and do not, carry any tobiano or overo gene. a "Purebred Pinto Arabian" most often is a "Purebred Sabino...

*sigh* Tobiano never has been nor never will be an accepted pattern in the AQHA.

Registration papers :lol: Paint horses are essentially Quarter Horses selectively bred to have pinto patterns. :hide:
