Sheeps population in Iceland is for sure superior as human population. Funny thing is that they live as wild animals, going around the island as they want, and when the farmers want to recover them all, they need like a month searching them all. Strange thing is that those sheeps fear humans, but not cars.

I like the background you added about the sheep. Sometimes the story helps add to the photo. Thank you for entering my Lakes challenge.

Behind The Lens
Location
It was taken in the Ring Road, in Iceland. This road make the whole round through the island, where you can find a lot of surprises during the trip. It was taken from inside the car, which created this reflection of the guide above. Animals in Iceland like to go to the road, because its hot; seagulls are the ones who do it mostly to rest and get warm, the problem is that seagulls are not as visible as sheeps are, and are sadly overdriven often.Time
It was afternoon, we were already looking for a camping, because it was a bit rain-cloudly and we didn't wanted rain to catch us.Lighting
What I like of the low light of that day is that it creates this mysterious atmosphere around the road; you don't know at all where this road can take you to. And what are this sheeps doing there in middle of nowhere.Equipment
I went to that trip with my little Canon 100D, and it was taken with the 55-250mm Canon lense, which I mainly used in that trip. That lense combine quite well with the Canon 100D.Inspiration
I loved the composition instantly: the red car in front driving slowly as he sorrounded the sheeps and drived away playing with the red of the guide inside the car. I wanted to make the frame closed showing the inside of our car and the sheeps there lost in middle of nowhere (there was low tide, but in both side there was full of water). It was just a moment I had to capture with my camera, which I had luckely ready close to me at that moment.Editing
Yes, but not much. I just gave a bit more light to the picture and a bit of contrast.In my camera bag
I have with me always my 50mm Nikkon Nikkor (the analogic old one, japanese), and now the 58mm Helios anamorphic, which is really nice for urban lights at night. Also the 18-55 although I don't like much this basic lens, but it's useful for wide angles. The 55-250mm Canon is the one I use more. And I try to get always a Manfrotto tripod with me, specially for timelapses.Feedback
Always get the camera close to you and ready to shoot. You never know when the right moment is coming to take a picture, and sometimes you only got a few seconds for it!
