Buckie captured by Z 8 / Z180-600
Philmont Scout Ranch is a working ranch. They have vast pastures on the New Mexico landscape with horses (about 230 head) and cattle. I’m not a cowboy shooter, so to have the opportunity to work with these charismatic characters in such a romantic setting, how can I say no? It’s all set up, not by accident. That is everything but the horses, which they are rounding up to run past our lenses. Them horses have a mind of their own! That’s what Buckie was dealing with when I made this click. I saw the light on the ground from the setting sun. I could see Buckie was riding in that direction, so I zoomed to 600mm and tracked him in the viewfinder until he was where you see him. I made a whole lot of clicks of Buckie last night, but this is my favorite. I simply love the last light on the range.
