This image isn't just first light for my new lens.
It's taken in memory of my beloved old Thoroughbred gelding "Bundy", who was put to sleep this afternoon. He now rests along side other well loved horses in my friends paddock.
Bundy never bit (unless he had to) never kicked (unless you got in the way) and could be trusted with the smallest of children on his back. He was cunning, vengeful and had a wicked sense of humour, locking me in the feed shed once, and another time rolling his feed bin to the far side of 40 acres just because I had the audacity to worm him. Such a character.
Anyways.....
Taken with my new Tamron 90mm F2.8, stopped down to 4.5
