Yes they came with the Vikings, I guess the conditions only let the strong ones survive.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photograph of Icelandic horses at Kalfatellsstadhur, Iceland.

Time

It was taken about midday.

Lighting

Just natural lighting no tricks or tips here I am afraid.

Equipment

Taken on a Nikon D810 14-24mm lens.

Inspiration

I love these tough and sweet horses...so cute.

Editing

Processed in Adobe Bridge and finished in Photoshop nothing overly complicated.

In my camera bag

I normally carry a Nikon D810, Nikon D800E, Nikon 14-24mm, 24-70, 70 -200 mm lenses and Tamron 90 mm Micro lenses . 3 x Nikon SB910 flashguns. Gitzo series 4 tripod.

Feedback

Horses can be tricky but I find moving slowly around them to get the best angles works best after all you dont want to scare the horses.
